Drink, Holler and Dance, the new album from Dutch, Celtic-punks, Bunch of Bastards, came about quite by chance. The Bastards had booked some studio time to record a couple of songs over a weekend. Well, drinks did flow, and songs did spill, and the boys two songs, ended up being an 11 track new album. Six new songs, a cover of, Tell Me Ma, and four older tracks re-recorded.

Drink, Holler and Dance, kicks off with the gritty, punky, mandolin led, Three Legged Dog, and continues along in a glorious, arm in arm, pub sing along style. While track three, Hand of a Bastard Son, reminds me a lot of Flogging Molly, the rest of the album is closer to the rough edged sounds of The Rumjacks and The Peelers. I love the high speed, punk-polka-pogo of, Pogo Never Ends, and the re-recorded, Sky over Rotterdam, is great. 

Drink, Holler and Dance is for fans of old school, dirty, Celtic-punk.
