Metal Pirates!

And now for your listening pleasure: Alestorm.

I'm not sure if these guys are god awful or awfully good. Post your opinion.

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....

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.
