Our Take

Ah, The Pogues – the band that makes you want to chug a pint of Guinness while simultaneously shedding a tear for lost loves and broken dreams. Their latest release, "Dirty Old Town - The Platinum Collection," is a rollicking romp through the cobblestone streets of their Irish roots.

From the opening track, "Dirty Old Town," you can practically smell the whisky and cigarette smoke wafting through the speakers. Shane MacGowan's gravelly vocals are as authentic as a four-leaf clover, instantly transporting you to a pub in Dublin in the '80s.

The collection features all the Pogues classics, from the raucous "Fairytale of New York" to the melancholic "Rainy Night in Soho." Each song is a mini masterpiece, blending traditional Irish folk with punk rock attitude in a way that only The Pogues can pull off.

But what really sets "Dirty Old Town - The Platinum Collection" apart is the remastered sound quality. The tin whistle and accordion are crisp and clear, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the band's unique sound.

Overall, The Pogues have once again proven why they are legends in the music industry. So grab a pint, press play, and let "Dirty Old Town - The Platinum Collection" transport you to a world where the craic is mighty and the music is timeless. Sláinte!

About the artist

The Pogues

In the grand scheme of things, there are few bands as legendary and enigmatic as The Pogues. Led by the one and only Shane MacGowan, this ragtag group of Irish misfits burst onto the music scene in the early 1980s, combining traditional Irish folk music with punk rock attitude in a way that had never been seen before. With their raucous live shows, Pogue Mahone - as they were originally known - quickly made a name for themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable bands in the UK. Fueled by copious amounts of whiskey and a devil-may-care attitude, The Pogues became synonymous with wild nights and even wilder music. But it wasn't just their rowdy reputation that set The Pogues apart - it was their music. With classics like "Fairytale of New York" and "Dirty Old Town," the band proved that they were more than just a bunch of drunken louts. Their songs were poignant, poetic, and undeniably powerful, showcasing MacGowan's raw talent as a songwriter and frontman. Of course, The Pogues weren't without their controversies. MacGowan's battle with addiction and the band's tumultuous relationships with each other often threatened to tear them apart. But through it all, they managed to create some of the most timeless and unforgettable music of their generation. So, whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that The Pogues have had on the world of music. With their infectious energy, irresistible charm, and unmatched talent, they truly are a band like no other.
