Our Take

Irish folk trio The Mary Wallopers prove that good things really do come in threes with their self-titled debut album. Packed with infectious energy and a charming DIY aesthetic, this record is a delightful collision of traditional Irish music and modern punk sensibilities.

From the raucous opener "Farriers" to the hauntingly beautiful "Farewell to Tarwathie", The Mary Wallopers showcase their versatility and musical prowess throughout the album. Lead singer Tommy McNulty's raw vocals give a sense of urgency to each track, while brothers Dave and Ian McNulty keep the energy high with their tight instrumentation and harmonies.

While some may find the album's lo-fi production a bit rough around the edges, it's this gritty authenticity that truly sets The Mary Wallopers apart from their peers. Tracks like "The Black Velvet Band" and "The Mountains of Pomeroy" feel like lost gems from a bygone era, yet still manage to sound fresh and relevant in today's music landscape.

Overall, The Mary Wallopers have crafted an album that is as charming as it is captivating. With their unique blend of traditional folk and punk influences, this trio is sure to make waves in the music scene for years to come. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and let The Mary Wallopers take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
