And now for your listening pleasure: Alestorm.

    The tempo has promise. The lead singer sounds like he has had far too many cigarettes. Let's hope they fail so we can buy their ship at a bargain and put it in your pond.

    Alestorm is a great band. Tongue in cheek with skills to boot. They're playing Peabody's on Nov 7th....

  3. Pirate rock? It's so close to awesome, but I'm just not sure I can take seriously any band with a keyboard on a guitar strap.

    If he was cranking on an accordion, and the guitar had a bit more distortion, and the lead singer had an accent and a gravely voice like Barbosa, I would scrawl my X, put the match in my teeth, and climb aboard.

    Maybe they need a softer folk music sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOJMBrCNyUg&feature=related

    I could listen to relaxing music like that all day...

    Oddly enough, Eluveitie is on the nov. 7th bill at Peabody's as well, Grim.
