JOLLYROGER – SINGLE REVIEW

JollyRoger – Aboard 

Release Date: 5th March 2021

Timed for release to coincide with St Piran’s Day in Cornwall, JollyRoger bring their tale of ancient seafaring on new single ‘Aboard’. At just under three minutes, there’s a punk spirit to this one but the overriding theme is, of course, the shanty – shanty-punk if you will. Interchangeable vocalists take their grizzly turns while the drums and bass keep the pace brisk and the melodies bounce with the kind of excitement you’d expect at the launch of a big ship. I’m never sure whether this kind of music would make much sense Northampton or Chesterfield, but it doesn’t really matter because there are plenty of people for who this makes perfect sense in Devon and Cornwall. Also, it’s a lot of fun, whatever your persuasion.
