Rum Rebellion - Cruisin' for a Boozin'

I had forgotten how happy this album made be feel. One of the only "Celtic Punk" bands I can stomach, this band sounds like Mutiny (who they stole their name from) but much more exciting. They come from Portland and their music makes you want to jump up and dance. Their music draws from many influences, from Celtic music to sea shanties, to punk and hardcore. If you're ready for a good time with an uplifting album, I suggest you download this immediately.

Dandelion Junk Queens - Black Hearts and Red Balloons/Bumtape

Dandelion Junk Queens are not a jug band nor a pirate band as described by themselves. They prefer to be called a junk band. Just between us, they are quite similar to the pirate/gypsy/jug band that Blackbird Raum so I highly recommend this if you enjoyed my last post. They are also everything you really ask for in a folk punk band. They live on the road, they want to play in your basement, and scream a lot. I'm not even going to up their music, what's readily available is already free on their site! Yeah, they have a freewebs site as their main page! Awesome!

Blackbird Raum - Swidden

Blackbird Raum is my type of band. A local group from Santa Cruz, California they preform gypsy pirate folk punk that is just about perfect. They preform on the streets and using accordions, banjos, pianos, washtub basses, and scream until they can't scream anymore. I've recently gotten back into them realizing just how awesome they are. Elise will probably be angry that I posted this because I found out about them from her, but she's late on it. Tell me if you like them, I have a couple more bands that are similar that I can post. I'll probably post them anyways because I know you'll like them... as in somebody will like them.
