Absolutely fine Irish/folk streetpunk from Germany put together by the guitar player of Germany's fantastic Oi! band 4 PROMILLE. The mix of folk and punk is perfectly balanced on here so that all the tracks maintain the rough, distorted guitar but that does not overshadow that acoustic instruments. The voice could easily fit perfectly into either style so that works out well! .
