REVIEW - THE SCARLET "Midnight Avenue EP" (2015)
The Scarlet "Midnight Avenue" EP
Release date: January 16, 2015
Running time: 19:45, 6 tracks
After and interesting demo in 2013 and a single / video released in 2014 to whet appetites, the band from Budapest The Scarlet have just issued their 6 track EP “Midnight Avenue”. When I reviewed their demo, I told that their line-up was closer to Firkin, but their sound and attitude was inspired by Paddy and The Rats. They have pushed forward those influences and have hired Paddy and The Rats singer Kristóf Oravecz as producer. The result is obvious: a more mature sound and brilliant arrangements that have improved Daniel’s songs.
The 6 track EP begins with “Thief of Dublin”, which is an upbeat song with a tight rhythm section, backing vocals à la Paddy and The Rats and a great electric guitar work. Flute and fiddle lead the sound and there is a traditional tune in the middle of the track.
The next number is titled “The Jester’s Way Home” and even if the beginning with keyboards is a little bit slower, it runs faster immediately. This track has a sound which is closer to the numbers from their demo, but all the arrangements (backing vocals, guitar work) are in line with the opening track.
Track number 3 is called “Jacky Wood”. It’s a fast-paced song on which banjo can be heard. The flute really shines at the second half of the song.
Surely you will be dancing and singing-along with those songs and then you’ll need a short break. Then, “Misfortune” will be the perfect number. Kaposvári Tamás (cello) and Balázs Pongrácz (piano) guest on this superb number which also features a kick-ass electric guitar part.
Once again The Scarlet shift to the Celtic punk territory with “Drunken Scallywag”. The beginning of the song has a The Cure vibe, but the song is clearly a Celtic punk goes metal number.
Finally, The Scarlet have included their single from 2014 as bonus track. “Phoenix” is an awesome pirate punk song with further metal influences. Join the band and sing-a-long: “Yo-Ho, we never surrender …”
As you can see, there are no covers and all the songs have been written by Daniel. Congrats mate! The EP is only available as a digital release and it’s available at iTunes, Amazon and Deezer.
The Scarlet have grown-up as a band with “Midnight Avenue”. They have followed the approach that I really appreciate: original songs, a top-notch studio to record the EP (Nordic) and an excellent producer that can help them to evolve as musicians. Great job!

Info about those bands:
More Power to Your Elbow
More Power to your Elbow have become an integral part of the culture, especially here in the North of Ireland, where the band is renowned for huge crowds, high entertainment and fierce craic altogether! Playing a mesmerising blend of Irish and rock style music, they could be variously defined, as a folk-orchestra with a blazing array of electro-acoustic instruments or as full-on rockers, with driving drums and a dizzy rhythm and lead section. One thing is for sure, they will rattle your speakers because everything they do combines the inherent wizardry of Irish traditional with the musical muscle of rock. More Power to your Elbow really know the recipe for creating an electric atmosphere at their shows. You just can’t stand still!
More Power to your Elbow are highly regarded by audiences here in Ireland and also in Europe and the USA, where they have played many great festivals over the years. However, it is on their home turf that the band is most at ease and the Festival at Eglish is the perfect opportunity to catch them at their very best.
Recent times have been busy for the band and they have released a new album “Until the Last Note Fades” which has been very well received. Just before Christmas, the band collaborated in a most interesting project to raise funds for the Irish Guide Dog Association for the Blind. This involved recording their very own version of the famous Dublin song “Alive Alive O” which was launched in the premier Dublin nightclub “Copper-Face Jacks.” All proceeds from downloads of the song went directly to the charity and over the Christmas period, More Power to your Elbow reached Number One in the Irish Rock Charts and they were delighted with the success.
Line-up:
Pat Casey - Fiddle, electric guitar, harmonica, backing vocals
Damian Cullen - Banjo, keyboards, backing vocals
Eugene Davey - Electric and acoustic guitars
Helen Donnelly - Tin whistle, backing vocals
Paul Faloon - Drums, percussion

REVIEW - THE MAGGOTY BRATS "Folklore Noir" (2015)
On 2:03 PM
In 5 Reviews, 8 New Albums, Canada, Cow Punk, Folk Punk, Folkabilly, Quebec, The Maggoty Brats
The Maggoty Brats "Folklore Noir"
Release date: January 6, 2015
Running time: 41:06, 13 tracks
The Quebecer crew The Maggoty Brats are back with their folka/pyscho/punka-billy. The Maggotty Brats proved with their previous release that there was life after the Celtic punk and they have not changed the direction of their vessel with “Folklore Noir”. Yes, the album title is in French again, but they keep on singing in English. Even the song “Elle danse sur du béton” is sung in English, with a final verse in French.
Perhaps the album title gives a lead about the content. Noir means black, dark, and lyrics and music are darker than on “Danse Macabre”.The album begins with “Masters of the Game”, a cow punk number reminiscent of the early The Men They Couldn’t Hang. Track no. 2 “Blazing Thunder” is a punkabilly song with harmonica, bass and banjo. The next song is the a.m. “Elle danse sur du béton”, which is a slower number.
“Folklore Noir” is one of the album’s highlights, the ideal number for a Western soundtrack with great fiddling à la Louise Attaque. The following numbers have related titles: “Elvis in Wonderland” and “Alice in Graceland”. The former is a fast-paced song with brilliant fiddle and better vocal performance. The latter is a gypsy infused number.
Kazoo can be heard on “Leviathan”, a Mexican number. “Midnight IOA” is an upbeat song with interesting backing vocals, while “Matilda” is a bluesy song featuring harmonica. The Maggoty Brats move to ska on “Black Flea Market” and “Broken” is a lively track with a great work on the backing vocals.
“Anarcoholism” is a slower number and “Dark Side of Ages” is my fave, an excellent accordion led folk punk number.
The Maggoty Brats are tighter than ever, with an amazing rhythm section, a brilliant fiddler and a superb singer. Go to Bandcamp and grab a copy of "Folklore Noir"
Tracklist:
01 - Masters Of The Game 3:56
02 - Blazing Thunder 3:05
03 - Elle Danse Sur Du Béton 2:41
04 - Folklore Noir 2:54
05 - Elvis In Wonderland 2:33

TOSS THE FEATHERS - LIVE ALBUM AT CELTIC FOLK PUNK RADIO
Every Saturday evening a live album will be played at Celtic Folk Punk Radio. The first album will be played tomorrow (Saturday 24 January 2015) at 20:00CET: Toss the Feathers "Live at 32" (1988).
Tune in and enjoy!
If you are not familiar with this seminal Mancunian band, have a look to the following info (Toss the Feathers three studio albums can be bought from Magnetic Music, link at the bottom)
Bio
Toss The Feathers were formed in 1987 after Dave Smylie met Pete Carberry in Manchester's Bouzouki By Night. Joined by Michael McGoldrick, Angela Usher and Martin Moylan, a session at The Bridgewater Bar in Stockport followed and since the Mancunian second-generation Irish group have become legendary on the Celtic Rock circuit.
Eddie Sheehan replaced Martin as guitarist and in 1988 Paul Usher (drums) and Dezi Donnelly (fiddle) joined. Founding members, Angela and Pete left before Chris Cormac (banjo/mandolin) made up the 5-piece.
Their debut recorded album, "Columbus Eclipse", focused more on their traditional Irish influences with many brilliant instrumental tracks and was released in 1989 to widespread acclaim.
The 1991 follow-up album, "Awakening", (which is also known as "Rude Awakening") changed tempo and helped earn them a large following in Europe, mixing traditional with rock. Sean Reagan temporarily replaced Dezi on fiddle and in 1992, with Jim Krawiecki, Toss the Feathers made their debut performance at Manchester's Apollo Theatre, selling out the 2,000 capacity venue.
Toss The Feathers have, with differing line-ups, since gone on to play all over the UK, Ireland, and the USA. It was in mainland Europe though that they enjoyed their greatest success, practically living there in the early 1990's before returning home to Manchester. Dezi rejoined for a short stint and Eddie Sheehan left before the release of their brilliant 1995 album,"The Next Round".
Toss the Feathers have always had a large following and have been able to survive various line-up changes since as well as accomodating solo success from Michael McGoldrick. (He is replaced by Paul Daly when not available).
Toss The Feathers' unique mix of traditional Irish music with rock will continue to win many new followers (they have also recently toured Asia). TTF are Manchester's most exciting Celtic export since Phil Lynott and must be seen live.

REVIEW - THE FIGHTING JAMESONS "Every Day Above Ground" (2014)
The Fighting Jamesons Every Day Above Ground"
Release date:March 15, 2014
Running time: 50:11, 12 tracks
“Every Day Above Ground” is The Fighting Jamesons second studio album and the third in their discography. The core of the band remains the same, with songwriter Mike Powers on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo and mandolin and George Baumann IV on lead guitar. The fiddler, bassist and drummer are different from the ones who recorded their self-titled mini-album in 2011, and an accordionist has been added to the line-up.
Apart from that, the differences between both studio CDs are easily noticed. The 12 tracks running time is 50 minutes when their previous effort running time was only 29 minutes (8 tracks). That is, the new songs are longer. Besides, even if the quantity of “Irish” standards is the same, 3 songs, the percentage is lower now: 25% the second album, 37,50% the first album. As I like that bands give priority to their self-penned stuff, I feel that this is fine.
Regarding the sounds, every fan will be pleased. There are Easter European sounding numbers (“Year Gone By”), bluegrass (“Mid the Green Fields of Virginia”, “Around the Bend”), fast-paced banjo and mandolin led songs (“What Does it Mean”), ballads (“Every Day Not Wasted”), catchy songs with fantastic accordion and fiddle arrangements ( “How I Ended Up This Way”)… The band is really tight and there is space for every single instrument along the album.
The album package is a gatefold sleeve with a band pic and the band’s line-up. Unfortunately, neither lyrics, no credits are provided.
The Fighting Jamesons are currently one of the most interesting Celtic Punk band in the USA and “Every Day Above Ground” reached the 13th place at The Best of 2014. If you weren’t quick enough to download a “Name Your Price” digital copy from Noisetrade in November, go to CDbaby and grab a CD. A must have album.

REVIEW - PUNCHING NAMARD "Demo" (2014)
Punching Namard "Demo"
Release date: 25 December 2014
Running time: 15:16, 5 tracks
Release date: 25 December 2014
Running time: 15:16, 5 tracks
Even if the amount of bands is not as big as in Indonesia, the Brazilian Celtic punk scene is growing very fast. Lugh delivered one of the best albums of 2014 and Punching Namard have recently released a kick-ass demo.
Punching Namard, our Band of January 2015, have recorded five brilliant tracks showcasing their Celtic punk rock pedigree. If Lugh sing in Brazilian Portuguese and their sound has a Brazilian twist, Punching Namard have decided to sing in English and follow a more international approach.
The first song is titled “Punching Namard” too and it’s a fast-paced mandolin-driven catchy number that you’ll love straightaway.
The next number, “Up and Down” is Celtic punk at its best. Thiago played fiddle on the first track, but he plays tin whistle on this. And there is a fantastic electric guitar work too
“It Was not What I Mean” is my fave: the mandolin and the lively tin whistle make this song a cross between The Tossers and Bastards on Parade.
Punching Namard visit the Dreadnoughts polka territory on “Home”, a song on which accordion and mandolin can be heard.
Finally, “Find a Way” is an excellent ballad in the early Flogging Molly vein.
Punching Namard have bet on their own material and that’s what I expect from new bands. Hats-off guys! I feel that this recording will be at the top of my list of the Best EPs of 2015. I’m looking forward to listening to their debut album.
Tracklist:
1 - Punching Namard 1:50
2 - Up and Down 2:57
3 - It Was not What I Meant 2:51
4 - Home 3:15
5 - Find a Way 4:21

FREE DOWNLOAD - BARBAR 'O' RHUM "Démo" (2014)
"Driven by his passion for the world of piracy, our captain, Mathieu, is working on this project for 8 years. He has composed lots of musical parts in order to perform them on stage, one day.
He first crossed the way of two filibusters in Tarn. He decided to welcome them in board. Thus Boris (bass guitar) and Colin (keyboard) joined the crew in the end of the year 2013.
It’s only in April 2014 that two landlubbers, having their ears wandering in the good place at the good time, managed to crawl into the shim ship: they were a drumer and a guitarist. The captain’s choice was difficult at this point: the shark plank or integration in the crew. After having feasted with them and realising they could properly substain on rum, he agreeded Corentin (guitar) and Richard (drums) on board. So Barbar’O’ Rhum crew was complete."
