The Zydepunks are going to be huge someday. Move over Gogol Bordello, you suck. If you haven’t heard The Zydepunks before, you’re in for a treat. They are a high speed, accordion dueling Yiddish-zydeco- Klezme-Celtic-Cajun-Slavic folk punk outfit from New Oreans. Totally original, incredibal musicians and tight as the preverbial ducks arse. Finisterre, their 3rd release is the least Celtic of the lot but don’t worry Paddy Punks you’ll still love’em and maybe you’ll even improve your French and German language skills.

Like I said, The Zydepunks are going to be huge someday, so before some prick at Rolling Stone tells you that that, remember you heard it here first.
