2017-03-15 ALBUM REVIEW - CELKILT "Stand" (2017)
Celkilt "Stand"
Release date: March 11, 2017
Running time: 47:12, 13 tracks
If you have a look to my review of Celkilt “On the Table” (HERE) these were my last words: "Nevertheless, I’d appreciate very much if the next time they could jump from the 9 track/30 minute CD format to the 12 track/40 minute CD format."
The five piece band from Roanne delivered 2 EPs and 2 mini-albums between 2011 and 2014. In 2015 they issued a Christmas song mini-album (10 songs, running time: 25 minutes). Finally, they've gone out of their comfort zone in 2017 with their brand new album “Stand”. Yes, “Stand” consists of 13 tracks and its running time is around 47 minutes!!!
Celkilt know what they fans expect from them. All of their CDs have their own trademark. However, it’s also obvious that the band is evolving and every new CD offers new things that improve the band’s universe.
The “standard” Celkilt sound can be noticed on tracks no. 3, no. 11 and no. 12. “I Don’t Have a Brain” is a Celtic pop-punk number featuring fiddle and tin whistle and lots of “Hey” shouts; “Better” is another standout, with pipes and a more “American” sound; and “The Last Day of My Life” has a traditional sounding tune showcasing fiddle and tin whistle and a fantastic percussion end.
The kick-ass bagpipes rock is represented by the opening number “Sometimes I Care” (it reminds me of AC/DC “Thunderstruck”) and “Kilt up”, the “up yer kilt” song with its short rap part towards the end.
The self-penned sets of tunes are compulsory on a Celkilt CD. There are two instrumentals on “Stand”: “Gavotte Party/Whipping Reel/Motherjigger” is an infectious Celtic rock set, while “Hornjigger” gets a “pub” treatment.
But the set of tunes are not the only numbers with a traditional feel. “All the Way” is a fantastic shanty. “Fall in Place” has a Breton feel both on singing and pipes. And even if “I Gotta Run” is a fast-paced Celtic pop-punk, the fiddle has a Hungarian twist.
The three surprises would be the ethereal “Lost and Found", “Stand”, a song that gives the latest Dropkick Murphys' album a run for their money, and “Superpower”, with its drunken backing vocals and la-la-las.
Celkilt have always had a fun approach. Some people would say that their CDs should be shorter than 33 minutes then. They’re wrong. “Stand” is as enjoyable as any of the band’s previous offerings. In fact, I’d daresay that it’s even better.
Tracking list:
01 - Sometimes I Care 2:50
02 - Kilt Up 3:11
03 - I Don’t Have A Brain 3:19
04 - Fall In Place 5:14
05 - Lost And Found 3:27
06 - Gavotte Party / Whipping Reel / Mother Jigger 5:23
07 - All The Way 1:43
08 - I Gotta Run 1:46
09 - Hornjig 2:17

13 - Stand 6:35

REVIEW - CELKILT "On the Table" (2014)
Celkilt "On the Table" Celkilt04/1
Release date: June 6, 2014
Running time: 32:18, 9 tracks
Celkilt fans must be happy. The prolific French band is back again with their 4th work, the 9 track album “On the Table”. Following the band’s comments on their website, this fourth CD shows all of their influences and they have added new Celtic lands to their repertoire. After having given some spins to the new album, it’s clear that the four guys and one girl have moved from their previous album direction.
Three amazing tracks can be filed under Celkilt’s “classic” sound: the opening number “We Never Try”, with bagpipes, fiddle, backing vocals and a pop-punk attitude à la Sum 41; the following song, “Enough about Me”, with Scottish Celtic pop echoes, whistles instead of bagpipes, and an epic end; and, finally, the fast paced track number 7, “To Be The One”.
Celkilt have always proved to write kick-ass sets of tunes and “G-Grill” meets the expectations. I wish that they have recorded another one, since the other instrumental on the album is not so fast.
On track no. 3, the sing-along “On the table”, Celkilt visit Brittany and the result is quite good. This first stop on their new Pan-Celtic voyage is a real success. Regarding other Celtic lands, some numbers have a Galician twist. I wouldn’t say that they are 100% Galician infused compositions, but Carlos Nuñez influenced songs to be more accurate. The Galician piper's shadow can be felt on the closing number, the set of tunes “Hellobye”, and the previous song, “My Dirty Mazurca”. That song is a lot of fun, even if the lyrics are a little bit “dégeulasse” (a French word for nasty).
Finally, tracks no. 4, “Going Down”, and track no. 5, “The Only Road”, are two separate songs that are linked by the chorus. I have not enjoyed the former, a sort of an ethereal Celtic pop. However, the latter is an interesting number that goes from an acoustic guitar beginning to other passages featuring whistles, fiddle, bodhrán and bagpipes.
If you think that Celkilt are creative musicians, then note that they also want their fans to be creative. The album sleeve is white, but the CD is delivered together with some pencils. Therefore, every single fan can create his own artwork
Celkilt got the French Celtic rock throne when they released their first EP. After having enjoyed their fourth CD, I’m sure that they are not threatened, since they have been able to put together quality, musicianship and fun once again. Nevertheless, I’d appreciate very much if the next time they could jump from the 9 track/30 minute CD format to the 12 track/40 minute CD format.

THE BEST CELTIC PUNK/ROCK ALBUMS LIST OF 2013
On 7:52 PM
In 000 Albums of the year, Bodh'aktan, Brick Top Blaggers, Celkilt, Irish Moutarde, Lexington Field, Paddy and the Rats, Sir Reg, The Dead Rabbits, The Tossers
This is the list of the best Celtic punk-rock albums of 2013.
Some remarks:
1) Even if this post is titled as “the best of”, this is not a competition, but a sort of a game. I prefer to say that, IMHO, this is the list of the most enjoyable albums of 2013.
Some remarks:
1) Even if this post is titled as “the best of”, this is not a competition, but a sort of a game. I prefer to say that, IMHO, this is the list of the most enjoyable albums of 2013.
2) Please remember that it’s a list of albums, not a list of bands.
3) I always intend to push new bands. However, I feel that the best album is The Tossers "The Emerald City" and even if they are an old (an essential) band, they deserve it.
4) I have rated only the albums that have been received for review purposes and/or that have been shared for free by the bands. Albums on streaming have not been rated.
5) Live albums have not been taken into account.
6) Albums without original songs (that is, covers albums) have not been taken into account
7) "Best of" or compilations have not been taken into account, since they are old material.
8) Unfortunately I have not been able to rate some albums that could have made the list, since a copy never arrived :-(
9) Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the list. It's been extremely difficult to rate the albums, because most of them were very good. In order to decide the final order I have had to take into account different things: original songs, covers, production, packaging, artwork, liner notes, credits ... In fact, an album is more than a collection of songs.
10) This is really a global Celtic punk/rock albums list. There are albums sung in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Czech and Polish.
11) I intended to post a Top25, but then a lot of excellent albums wouldn't be on the list. So I have decided to extend the list to 35 albums.
This is the final list: 35 albums from all over the world:
23 from Europe (5 from the UK, 4 from Spain, 2 from the Czech Republic, 2 from Germany, 2 from Hungary, 2 from Switzerland, 1 from Belgium, 1 from France,
1 from The Netherlands, 1 from Poland, 1 from Sweden, 1 from Ukraine)
11 from North America (8 from the USA and 3 from Canada)
1 from Asia (Indonesia)

SPECIAL MENTIONS:
Some interesting albums have not been rated. They are also Celtic rock albums but not so raucous. Anyway, they are fantastic albums:
Dravra's Wave "The Witches Recall" Review
The Fenians "Take Me Home" Review
The Indulgers "Whiskey Tonight" Review
As I have previously said, no best-of/compilations albums have been rated. But, if I were you, I would download The Sunday Punchers "High Tides and B Sides", since it's a kick-ass album
I would like to thank ALL the bands for sending/sharing their music, and specially The Cloves and The Tobacco and Brutus' Daughters for mentioning Celtic Folk Punk and More on their albums liner notes. And obviously all the fans that have sent their leads and heads-up! about new albums. You know who you are.
Finally, a special THANK YOU to Beau from Lexington Field, for their support to every single Celtic punk/rock E-zine and podcast and to all the scene. Thank you Beau for making things easier to the people who write/talk about this kind of bands.

REVIEW - CELKILT "Everyday's St Patrick's Day!" (2013)
CelKilt "Everyday's St Patrick’s Day!" CelKilt 003/1
Release date: March 8, 2013
Running time: 26:42, 9 tracks
French Celtic rockers Celkilt released their third recording just before St. Patrick’s Day 2013. The follow-up to “Hey What’s Under Your Kilt?” is a 9 track mini-album titled “Everyday’s St. Patrick’s Day!”. The CD can be defined as a musical journey to Ireland, Hungary and Canada featuring fiddle, tin whistle, pipes and banjo.
“Come in!” is an intro that is stuck to the second track, “Everyday’s St. Patrick’s Day!”. As usual, Celkilt blend fun and musicianship on this catchy number.
The following visit to Ireland is a set of polkas in a Sliabh Luachra vein: “Polkachien”. Celkilt have always mastered this kind of numbers, so this set is really amazing.
The next two tracks place Celkilt together with Hungarian stars Firkin and Paddy and the Rats. “The Goodbye Song” can rival with the band from Budapest and “Big Mouth” is a Celtic punk-pop number with Ramonesque lyrics showing a similar attitude to that of the band from Miskolc.
If “Polkachien” was a set of Irish polkas, “Polkilt” moves to The Dreadnoughts favourite territory. Awesome “la-la-la” vocals and Eastern Europe fiddling on this number.
Track no. 8 is the real visit to Hungary : Brahm’s “Hungarian Dance no. 5” (BTW, the Canadian band Leahy also recorded some Hungarian dances on their debut album)
Finally, the album finishes up with another set of tunes with Canadian reminiscences: “JJack MacIsaac”. Maybe the fiddling and the last tunes on the set can be related to Ashley MacIsaac “Hi How Are You Today” album. But I can also feel some Phil Cunningham’s arrangement on this set.
Celkilt are at the forefront of the European Celtic rock scene. The French band share their musical approach with the aforementioned Hungarian colleagues and even with The Mahones. Their live shows are blast. In fact, they toured the USA when this mini-album was released and their gigs were a great success.
Tracklist:
01 - Come In! 00:47
02 - Everyday's St Patrick’s Day! 3:20
03 - Polkachien 3:13
04 - The Goodbye Song 2:58
05 - Big Mouth 2:50
06 - Polkilt 1:38
07 - The Things That Money Just Can’t Buy 4:36
08 - Hungarian Kilt Dance #5 2:12
09 - JJack Macisaac 5:04

Finally, the album finishes up with another set of tunes with Canadian reminiscences: “JJack MacIsaac”. Maybe the fiddling and the last tunes on the set can be related to Ashley MacIsaac “Hi How Are You Today” album. But I can also feel some Phil Cunningham’s arrangement on this set.
Celkilt are at the forefront of the European Celtic rock scene. The French band share their musical approach with the aforementioned Hungarian colleagues and even with The Mahones. Their live shows are blast. In fact, they toured the USA when this mini-album was released and their gigs were a great success.
