Filthy Thieving Bastards – Our Fathers Sent Us- Review

Filthy Thieving Bastards

Our Fathers Sent Us (TKO)
by Scott Hefflon

The lead singer and the lead guitarist of the Swingin’ Utters scale back on the punk, up the Irish folk aspect, and throw ’em back for these nine mostly acoustic drinkin’ songs. Heavily-influenced by Guinness, the Pogues, the Clash, the Dropkick Murphys, and Billy Bragg, many of these songs’ll have you slappin’ your knee or kickin’ up your heels, others’ll have you hunkered over the bar wishing the three overlapping drinks in front of you actually were three more drinks… Good to see another side of this already well-rounded band.
