Well! Consider me charmed by this unusual band of men from the UK. With just one listen to the song "The Boys Of Queens," I knew this group had some serious heart. The song is a tribute to the
FDNY Firefighters, and the lyrics are touching--the performance heartfelt. I wanted to hear more and see if this was a lucky accident on their part, and to my pleasant surprise--it wasn't. This band is just that good.
Not everything is depth and emotion here however. The band does a good job of handling humour too, as is shown on songs such as "
Northolt Rd". Here is a snippet of the lyrics from the song, which describes what a "few too many" can do to one's judgement:
"She tasted of cigarettes and stout,
I didn't start the fire, but I couldn't put it out
Skin as white as chewing gum and teeth of purest gold
How I loved my Mary of the Northolt Rd"
The band's
tagline reads, "
Bottle Slammin London Irish Rock," which is certainly appropriate, but it doesn't capture the full depth of what this band is about. With the righteousness of U2 and the energy of the
Pogues, they mix and match styles and come up with something that is altogether unique. And I really, really like it. I'd be willing to bet that no matter what style of Celtic you like, you'll enjoy this CD too. Worth the investment.
