Our Take

The POGUES – Red Roses For Me

Rating: 8.5

With their latest release "Red Roses For Me," The POGUES deliver an album that is equal parts chaotic and captivating. Drawing on their Irish roots and punk influences, the band creates a unique blend of folk and rock that is as infectious as it is rowdy.

The album kicks off with the rousing title track, setting the tone for the rest of the record with its anthemic chorus and energetic instrumentation. From there, The POGUES take listeners on a wild ride through songs like "Transmetropolitan" and "Streams of Whiskey," each track showcasing the band's unrivaled energy and spirit.

One of the standout moments on the album comes in the form of "The Auld Triangle," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases frontman Shane MacGowan's soulful vocals. The song serves as a stark contrast to the more raucous tracks on the album, adding depth and emotion to the overall experience.

Overall, "Red Roses For Me" is a testament to The POGUES' enduring talent and creativity. With their infectious energy and rebellious spirit, the band continues to push boundaries and defy expectations. So pour yourself a pint of Guinness, crank up the volume, and enjoy this raucous ride through Irish folk punk at its finest. Cheers!

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.
