JollyRoger – Everyday Pirate EP
JollyRoger - Everyday Pirate EP
Release Date: Out Now
I fell out with a piratically
themed band once, largely because I described them as piratically themed to which
they took offence to despite having the word ‘Pirate’ in their name and
dressing up as pirates. So, it is with some trepidation that I approach this EP
release from Plymouth trio JollyRoger who are undeniably and unashamedly, well,
piratical. The ‘Everyday Pirate’ EP kicks off with ‘Intro 2’ which is a swirl
of accordion and seagulls that opens in to a whistle wetting romp full of three
part harmonies and a self-knowing nod. ‘Ended Up!” follows with a striding
acoustic strum, hand claps and plenty of shouting which you know would go down
a storm in a crowded Westcountry pub on a stormy Friday night with ale, sweat
and cider dripping from the ceiling.
On ‘Aboard!!’ we not only find the band doubling up on their
exclamation mark fetish but also settling in to sea shanty of epic proportions
which really paints a picture with the vocal harmonies and bass drone. ‘Lady of
the Sea’ has a more upbeat vibe but still a distinctly nautical theme as the
trio regularly sing “Yo Ho Ho, 1 2 3, Jolly Roger life for me” in a way that
will demand, nay, expect audience participation in the aforementioned crowded
pub. Closing up on ‘2 to the Blue’, the trio really go for it with furious guitar
work and some blue language sealing their reputation as rabbling rousing
funsters with a gnarled and twisted outlook on the world. If you don’t like sea shanties, songs about
drinking rum and shouting used as backing vocals then this probably isn’t for
you but if you do have a sense of fun then jump on in, the water’s lovely.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and wonderful testimony, sometimes things you don't believe can just happen. My name is Adams Vera, from U.S.A am 28 years old i got married at the age of 24 i have only one child and i was living happily. After three years of my marriage my husband behavior became so strange and i don't really understand what was going on, he packed out of the house to another woman i love him so much that i never dreamed of losing him, i try my possible best to make sure that my husband get back to me but all to no avail i cry and i cry seeking for help because i was heart broken until i coincidentally came across an online spell caster called Dr. Osasu , i contacted him and explained to him what i have been going through in my marriage and he gave me the full assurance that my husband will come back to me and my marriage will be restored, He told me what to do to get my husband back and i did, he said after 3days my husband will come back to me and start begging, it really happen it was so surprising and everything was just like a miracle, ever since my family have been living with so much happiness and our relationship was now very tight because of this great and powerful spell caster.he is a very great and powerful spell caster that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning life issues he cannot solve because i am a living testimony. i know there are so many people out there who are going through similar problems in one way or the other, believe me this is the right spell caster to contact and all your problems will be forgotten. contact Dr. Osasu viaWhatsapp: +2347064365391 Email:Account drosasu25@gmail.com
