EP REVIEW: O’HAMSTERS- ‘Celtic Crew’ (2013)

A couple of weeks ago we reviewed the new LP from A Pint Of Stout and now here’s the latest recordings from the Ukraine’s only other celtic-punk band and big Celtic supporters O’Hamsters. Coming from the capital Kiev they’ve so far released one studio, one mini-album and one live album and now this their new 3-track EP ‘Celtic Crew’.

The first track is ‘Celtic Crew’ and starts off with a sample of that wee lad leading the singing at Celtic Park before  flying off into fast as feck manic Irish folk punk. The croaky vocals and drumming give it a proper punk feel but accordion and tin whistle keep it firmly in celtic-punk. The lyrics are sung in Ukrainian so anyone out there who can translate them please do… though I’m 100% certain their complimentary!

The following tracks (that I can’t pronounce) are all in the same vein so no disappointments here!

You can download the EP from Soundcloud here for as little as a quid so get on it and have a listen to their other records too while you’re there. Just like Pint Of Stout they have made their previous releases free to download so get them all but remember to chuck them at least a pound for the new one. you’ll not be regret it!

ALBUM REVIEW: PINT OF STOUT- ‘Choose Your Devil’ (2013)

For those of you who like your celtic-punk a bit more sea bound here’s the second release from Pint Of Stout from the city of Luhansk in Ukraine. reminding me a whole lot of The Dreadnoughts if you substituted the fiddle for accordion. Formed in 2011 their first self titled album ploughed more traditional celtic-punk fare and very good it was too, only just failing to make it into the ‘LondonCelticPunks Top 5 Albums Of 2012’.

On ‘Choose Your Devil’ this time the gruff, pirate-style, almost metally in places, vocals are wrapped around more sea-shanty style punk than celtic but is just as good. its all original compositions with only one cover (“Spanish Ladies” a traditional naval song) no fillers and the lyrics are in english and as is usual the musicianship is top notch. where this bhoys differ though is their attitude to their music having made their first LP a free download they’ve repeated it with their 2nd album so you’ve no excuses not to download and listening!

Kenedis – drums
Morion – mandolin
Kirill Savintsev – guitar/vocals
Daniil Marchenko – bass
Yury Kharchenko – bayan
