The Welch Boys - The Welch boys

Oh my god! Boston’s spewing out yet another Streetpunk band! This time TJ Welch (on guitar) from The Blue Bloods and Ed Lalli (Vox) from Slapshot joined forces and birthed ‘The Welch boys’.

I wasn’t really excited to listen to this self-titled debut album, cuz let’s face it…Dropkick Murphy’s, Ducky Boys, Far from Finished, The Pug Uglies, The Blue bloods, Suspect Device, … it tends to get a little too much these days…but!

The Welch boys managed to surprise me with their direct approach…no fancy stuff, no ‘I’m trying to write intelligent lyrics here’ stuff..

Opener ‘Friend or foe’ is ultra-cool!! In fact the whole album sounds so damn catchy, got me singin’ and shoutin’ along from the very first spin! If you’re looking for easy, sing-a-longs songs, you gotta give The Welch Boys a chance. ‘Les Paul’, ‘United (nevermind the lyrics…)’, ‘Can’t wait’ and the best one ‘617’, an ode to Boston are all top notch streetpunk!

I’m not sure if The Welch boys are gonna break a lot of bottles with this album, cuz streetpunk with hardcore influences isn’t really popular these days, cuz of the overkill of releases…I’m surprised either way, this sounds better than last Blue Bloods album and you should buy this fucker! Grab a beer, get your fist in the air and scream with The Welch boys! I love it!

Score: 86/100
