2017-05-09 FREE DOWNLOAD - IN FOR A PENNY "One More Last Hurrah" (2017)
The new In for a Penny album "One More Last Hurrah" is available for free. It was recorded live in the back room at The Sand Bar on Tybee Island, GA in about 7 hours (including lunch break).
"We set up our stuff in the back room of The Sand Bar on Tybee Island, GA (where this band got it's start... thanks Pam Hessler and Jennifer Knox) and with a little help from some great friends (Don McLemore loaned us the recorder and Ricardo Ochoa graced us with his violin... again) , we recorded a new no frills full length release in about 7 hours which included learning a brand new song and a lovely lunch break. And within 4 days, we’d mixed it down and released a video for one of the songs! Pretty sure that’s some kind of record or something…will have to check with the lovely Guinness people... or maybe just drink a pint to celebrate. But wait, that’s not all… since it cost us nothing to do it, it doesn’t have to cost you anything to get it! That’s right… pay what ya’ want for it! Don’t wanna pay nuthin? Cool, download it and enjoy (we think that's limited to 200 a month, but we're not very good at this kinda stuff). Think you wanna toss us a couple of bucks to help support our Irish punk habit, great. Want to give us one million dollars… well, you get the idea. Enjoy this no frills punk rock record we made! And tell your friends!
It's dedicated to our very own Bryce Mcnally, who's on his way to new adventures out west... we love ya boy... thanks for being the motivation to get this done and shared with the world!"

2016-08-31 EP REVIEW - IN FOR A PENNY "Every Day Should Be Saint Paddy's Day" (2016)
In for a Penny "Every Day Should be Saint Paddy's Day"
Release date: July 3, 2016
Runnning time: 15:56, 5 tracks
Release date: July 3, 2016
Runnning time: 15:56, 5 tracks
In for a Penny are back with a bunch of ballads and drinking songs. Last year we loved the band’s 9 track debut album. They followed apparently a simple approach, but the final result was amazing. This time they have chosen a couple of standards and three self-penned songs and they have delivered a fine EP.Little by little, Sean and his bandmates are stretching the boundaries of their own musical territory. A bassist have been added to the band (Bryce McNally) and they have hired a couple of friends who have played violin (Ricardo Ochoa from Velvet Caravan) and tin whistle (Daniel O’Connell from the Savannah Ceili Band).
The EP kicks off with "The Rare Old Mountain Dew". This number was recorded by The Dubliners and The Pogues for The Dubliners “(25 Years) Celebration” in 1987 and it has been covered by a lot of bands. Although normally I’m not interested in overexposed standards, I must admit that In for a Penny do a great job thanks to the American folk arrangements.
The following track is called “Stumblin’ Home”, a number showcasing the band’s skills to write kick-ass XXIst century ballads. Even if you don’t want it, you’ll be singing along the infectious chorus “1, 2, 3 shots of whiskey …”. Ricardo guests on fiddle.
Track no 3 is the title track. Celkilt told us that “Everyday’s St. Patrick’s Day” and In for a Penny agree with them: “Every Day Should Be St. Paddy’s Day”. Daniel guests on tin whistle in this outstanding number.
The next song is my fave: the mandolin driven number “Whiskey in Heaven”. Mr. Irish Bastard told last year that they hope that they sell beer in hell and now In for a Penny hope that there’s whiskey in heaven: “Woah, I’m not ready to go / I’m having too much fun, I’m having too much fun / Woah when it’s my time to go /I hope there’s whiskey in heaven”. Sean lost his father on Thanksgiving last year. The last time he heard In for a Penny play, they introduced this prophetic new song. Therefore, the song is dedicated to Sean’s pop Jim McNally.
The EP is over with “The Parting Glass”, the song that used to be played at the end of The Clancy Brothers’ concerts. Brilliant rendition by Sean on mandolin.
"Every Day Should Be St. Paddy’s Day" has been engineered and mixed by Shane Baldwin of VooDoo Soup at Elevated Basement Studios and digital copies are available at Bandcamp.
In for a Penny know the path they want to follow and they are going straight to their goal. Not only is the EP catchy, but they have chosen the best possible running order, starting with a standard, placing their own numbers in the middle and closing with the perfect farewell song.
Tracklist:
1 - The Rare Old Mountain Dew 2:31
2 - Stumblin' Home 2:55
3 - Every Day Should Be Saint Paddy's Day 3:24
4 - Whiskey in Heaven 3:07

REVIEW - IN FOR A PENNY "The Guardian Angel Sessions" (2015)
Release date: September 13, 2015
Running time: 34:33, 9 tracks
In for a Penny started in March 2015 in theSavannah/Tybee Island area (Georgia, USA). When SeanMcNally (mandolin, vocals), Henny “da butcha” (drums) and Jeremy Riddle (guitar and vocals) are asked what can of music they play, they usually respond with “it’s kinda of Irish with a punk feel and some weird 80’s covers. As accurate as that description is, it still leaves people with no idea what the heck to expect, so we remedied that situation a few weeks ago by setting up our gear in Jeremy’s living room and hitting record as we jammed through nine of our favorite songs. The result will give you a good idea of what to expect from the rowdy Irish craic that is In For A Penny.”
I dare say that In for a Penny are balladeers of the XXIst century. They take the spirit of The Dubliners and add some punk twist to the mix. Other definition would be a sort of a stripped version of The Tossers.
“The Guardian Sessions” is a back to basics album. Don’t expect polished studio stuff. The guys have recorded it at home and the live atmosphere can be felt all along the album. Most of the songs are self-penned material (6 tracks) and there are only two standards and a The Bollox cover.
“Tattletale” opens the album and it’s one of my faves. I’m sure that you’ll grab a pint of stout after having listened to the first lines.
Track no. 2 is titled “God Created Whiskey” and it’s a song that will become a classic pub song.
The next number is “Lucky Enough”, another proof that these guys have pushed the ballads to the punk territory.
“Dead for so Long”, and “If I Get to Heaven” are rough at the edges, but both are kick-ass songs that remind me of Dave King’s songwriting (file them together with “The Worst Day Since Yesterday”).
Between those songs, In for a Penny offer their own rendition of “Johnny Jump Up”. It’s a song that I particularly love and In for a Penny’s take is amazing. It begins slowly, but little by little it’s becoming a hypnotic song.
The other standard is “Danny Boy”. This song was covered by several bands in the last years, but In for a Penny version is very interesting too.
Sean and the guys are very proud of being allowed by The Bollox to cover their hit “Tura Lu”. By the way, The Bollox album was reviewed at Celtic Folk Punk and More in 2011.
“Guardian Angel” closes the album and it has a crooner feel that I have enjoyed.

“The Guardian Angel Sessions” can be a no frills album, but it’s full of attitude and the kind of imperfect gems that Celtic folk-punk fans love.
