Vancouver's newest group of drunken misfits: The Dreadnoughts. One part roaring sea shanty, one part haunting Irish melody, and a solid chaser of gut-crunching street punk.
The Dreadnoughts take punk, celtic, and shanty-music seriously. They stay true to the ancient ballads and bawlers that once drove sailors around the world, and they smash out modern street-punk with a fury and intensity that is almost unmatched in their home city. In an age of mega-hype, any band can described as “Rancid meets the Pogues”, but it takes The Dreadnoughts to live up to the description.
See them now, so you can be one of those people who can say “Yeah, I saw them before they died of alcohol poisoning.”
