The South Shore Ramblers are about half way done with writing their next EP. If you liked the last one then they are sure you are going to love what they are doing now. Not repeating themselves is vital and so far they are breaking new ground in whatever genre you want to throw them in. Apart from the actual writing and recording they are busy creating the artwork as well. Once again very different from their last effort. They will keep you updated and release a few more demos along the way. Thank you all for listening and appreciating what they do. Keep Ramblin'.

THE SOUTH SHORE RAMBLERS - DROPKICK MURPHYS COVER

The South Shore Ramblers got together with their Irish friend Neil Brannigan Tyrrell and recorded a couple of tribute songs. The first one is "Far Away Coast" by Dropkick Murphys.

THE LISTS OF THE BEST CELTIC PUNK-ROCK EPS AND SINGLES - 2014

This year I’ve decided to split the short recordings list into two lists:

a) A list of EPs and mini-albums. Recordings between 4 and 8 songs

b) A list of (digital) singles. Only 1 or 2 tracks that have been released as digital singles or videos, but they cannot be found for the moment on a full album.

I guess that this approach is better than that of the previous years.

Further comments:

1) As usual, this post is titled as “the best of”. However,  this is not  a competition, but a sort of a game. I’d say that, IMHO,  this is the list of the most enjoyable EPs/mini-albums and singles of 2014.

2) Important: Please remember that it’s a list of EPs/mini-albums and singles, not a list of bands.

4) Only the EPs/mini-albums and singles that have been received for review/airplay purposes and/or that have been shared for free by the bands have been rated. Other recordings were released in 2014, but unfortunately no copy was submitted.

5) As you can see, some recordings were released in 2012 or 2013. I’ve decided to rate them on the 2014 list ONLY after having checked that they were not reviewed on any other Celtic punk/rock e-zine in 2012 or 2013. I’ve got them in 2014 and I feel that a lot of fans didn’t notice that they were released before having read my posts about them. Then, I’ve considered them as 2014 releases.

6) No Live/radio sessions EPs have been taken into account.

7) A lot of these songs have been added to the streaming radio along the year and they are regularly played.

8) To the fans: feel free to share your comments below.

9) To the bands: it’s extremely difficult to rank every recording and I guess that some people won’t be happy. However, I really appreciate and respect the hard work by every single band. The quality of all of the recordings has been very high.

10) I’m looking forward to listening to the debut albums by most of these new bands!!!

THE SOUTH SHORE RAMBLERS - NEW BAND FROM JO'BURG - FREE DOWNLOAD FROM SOUNDCLOUD

The South Shore Ramblers was established in late 2014 by ex-members of the now disbanded South African Celtic punk band The Sunday Punchers. Darryn Small (Drums), Shaun Hillary (Banjo & Mandolin), Kenneth Dennis (Accordion) and Bruce Missing (Pipes & Whistles) teamed up with fresh blood, seasoned COPA graduates and full time musicians, Les Bainbridge (Acoustic Guitar) and Sean Barron (Electric Guitar) to form an honest grass roots folk punk rock band. The band, shortly after forming, welcomed Martin Bezuidenhout (formerly from The Daily Headache) as their lead vocalist and frontman.
