Damn good band, I even got me a t-shirt 8-)

YES! They are seriously piratey, Wenches and Mead is one of the highest played songs on my iTunes.

I know they are pretty recent, but already I think I prefer them to Running Wild. Get their EP's - they are free for fucks sake on their site..

Aye I did get them, the second one is seriously ace, as is the music on the first, but the vocals are terrible. It's great that they re-recorded Over The Seas though, it sounds tonnes better as does his voice.

Also, Wenches and Mead is part of my pre going out ritual most nights

Yeh the first one suffers pretty badly from production and vocal issues, don't think they had a bassist or a drummer too on the first one... Big improvement on the second, hope they come and do some gigs in England some time soon...

So come take a drink, and drowwwwn your sorrows, and all of our fears will be gone till tommorow!

Pirate Metal - the single greatest genre of music ever.

If they got themselves a better vocalist, they could very well go places. His limitations are glaringly obvious but the music itself is pretty damn decent.

I dunno, on the recent stuff I like the vocals fine, he just sounds like a pirate :dance:

HEY! HEY! I WANT MORE WENCHES!
HEY! HEY! MORE WENCHES AND MEAD!
HEY! HEY! I WANT MORE WENCHES, LOTS OF WENCHES IS WHAT I NEED!

Don't understand why people would willingly put themselves through this torturous listening.
