Bio:
Paddy & The Rats were formed by the singer-songwriter Paddy, Vince (bass) and Joey (electric guitar) in 2008. Then Seamus (drums) and two authentic musicians, Sonny (accordion) and Sam (fiddle, tin whistle, banjo and bagpipe) joined them. In spring 2012 Sonny has left the band and Bernie took his place.As for their becoming rats, the six „Irish” guys say: punk is the same in music as rats among the animals – dirty and malicious, and that’s exactly what they play. The band is combining pub music with hot and dirty punk rock. To spice up their own songs they use Irish pub music and Celtic features, but you can also feel the mood of the pirates’ and sailors’ world.The band’s first album – Rats On Board – was released in March 2010 by Nordic Records and it’s available on Itunes and Amazon. The second one is called Hymns for Bastards and it was released in spring 2011.The third one, Tales From The Docks came out in December, 2012. Those listening to their music won’t definitely stay sober, because the rolling jig rhythm makes everybody dance and even jump – and get drunk! Most of the lyrics are about drinking and pub stories (Fuck You I’m Drunk, We will fight, Pub’n roll).The forth album – Lonely Hearts’ Boulevard – was released in September 2014 and featured a wider range of music: some songs were more popular, new-folk songs influenced by the likes of Mumford and Sons and Passenger, showing the darker side of the band.In 6 years they had more than 400 gigs, they took part in festivals in Germany, Italy, France, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Ukraine, Russia, etc. At gigs they play their own songs with fiddle, banjo, accordion, bagpipe, whistle – and of course, a lotta rock’n’roll.Their aim is to introduce the crowd to different kinds of pub music and pub culture…To be more precise: turn the whole world into a pub!
Album:
Hop on board with Celtic Punk pirates PADDY AND THE RATS to crack into their upcoming album Wasteland to Wonderland, out on April 29, 2022 via Napalm Records. With their 6th full-length the vigorous outfit serves a top-notch pirate party fueled by a heavy dose of Punk, Polka and Folk, turning the world into a giant pub. This Irish influenced sound will assuredly bring up the urge to slam down a beer or two, while swinging happily along arm in arm to the beat!Formed in 2008 by singer and songwriter Paddy, the untamed unit managed to build a respective name within the scene due to a bunch of hard work and extensive touring all over Europe with more than 400 shows including at the world famous Wacken Open Air and the Sziget Festival. For the new album they teamed up once again with producer Zoli Baker. The artwork was designed by Jill Colbert, who also worked with bands like Alestorm, Exodus and Wintersun.With their mix of pub music and punk rock, accompanied by Celtic features, PADDY AND THE RATS welcome the listener into the world of pirates and sailors on their new offering. Wasteland to Wonderland builds upon a loosening and energetic mood that will transform every gathering into a boisterous pirate ship and is an even more powerful follow up to the predecessor Riot City Outlaws. On those rousing 14 tracks the Hungarians likely to magically pull one stirring song after another out of their pirate hats, featuring a great variation of instruments, like an accordion, a fiddle, a banjo and a bagpipe. The Celtic Punks sail off to exciting adventures with their opener “Wasteland“, offering a longingly Duo of mandolin play and vocals accompanied by violin injections. The full-length pushes forward with “Party like a Pirate”, where they delight their shipmates with an eager party hit, riddled with trust and a sweeping sing-along chorus. The spirit gets incited once more mid journey, with “Ship for Sale”, “Shady Shanty” and “Rumble Outta Here”: The rousing tracks hit like a wild wave and invites the listener to join the party, sway and stomp with them. “Everybody Get Up” offers one last power boost and slowly prepares for the end of the adventure, with its punkier and energetic sound. The last stop of the journey with the Celtic punks is “Runaway”. The song provides, with its lightness and emotional vocals, the perfect note to end the album. With Wasteland to Wonderland, PADDY AND THE RATS deliver an overseas adventure that fills every part of the body with its contagious energy and simplistic happiness.
