This band comes from the Czech Republic and has been around since 2006. More and more good bands are emerging from our neighboring country lately. Whether it's hardcore, garage punk, or, as in this case, a combo that indulges in bagpipe punk. The band was founded by Vojta, the singer and bagpipe player. His idea of combining punk rock with folk quickly excited his three companions. As soon as the idea was expressed, the band was already complete, and the first concerts were played. Since then, the band has been on tour more than at home. The present 5-track CD gives a good overview of the band's musical output. The first song "City by the Sea" strongly reminds one of the creators of bagpipe punk, THE REAL MC KENZIES. Catchy melodies meet bagpipes and gritty punk rock. A great song that invites sing-alongs and moshing. The other songs, especially "Heaven and Hell" and "Pipes and Pints," offer nice sing-alongs and great parts to sing along to in a varied and fast punk rock style. What is already captivating on this CD is even better live. The band themselves say that being on stage is the best for them. You can believe them right away. The songs are twice as good live as they are on the CD. It is quite surprising that the four guys have not yet found a label. Everything is still completely DIY. The CD was recorded and mixed independently, and the band also books all their concerts themselves. PIPES and PINTS are a great band worth discovering. They certainly won't remain a hidden gem for long.
