REVIEW - SIX PINTS LEFT "Rebellious Radio" (2013)

Six Pints Left "Rebellious Radio"
Release date: November 22, 2013
Running time: 22:21, 6 tracks

Hungary and the Czech Republic have both burgeoning Celtic punk /rock scenes.  And Germany it’s the Celtic kingdom if we take into account the quantity (and quality) of Celtic punk/rock bands. So, it’s a little bit strange that the news from the scene in a neighbour country like Austria are quite scarce. Fortunately, a young and fresh band hailing from Vienna wants  to change that situation.

Six Pints Left, the band formerly known as a Six Pints Left to a Dirty Dozen, are Stefan Nader (vocals, guitar), Thomas Kautnek (great Highland bagpipes, tin whistle, guitar), Martin Dvoran (bass), Doris Danzer (fiddle), Manuel Ruzicka (accordion, banjo, guitar) and Clemens Pöchhacker (drums and background vocals). “Rebellious Radio” is their first work, a 6 track mini-album that was released at the end of 2013 whose release party took place in Vienna last January 9th, 2014.

The band sounds really tight, with an amazing rhythm section (bass or upright bass and drums), a fiddle all around and the right selection of the other traditional instruments for every song (bagpipes on tracks 2 and 6, accordion on track 1, banjo on track 4, tin whistle on track 6).

The guys and girl define their music as Folk’n’Roll.  It’s true that they visit different musical territories and the results are really interesting: The Porters meet Flogging Molly on “Rebellious Radio”, new wave European bagpipes punk on “Life in Your Hands”, German bagpipes punk influences on “Judgement Day”, Johnny Cash shadow over “Beast of Property”, cow punk à la The Men They Couldn’t Hang on “Gobshite” and their own stamp on my favourite number, “The Guns of Hegemony”.

Don’t wait too long. E-mail the band and add this CD to your collection
