Praises for The Bottle and the Bow:
The Swaggerin’ Growlers is a great name for a band, and a very true to life name.
I knew Jonny Swagger (vocals) knew how to swagger as I’ve see him in action
at many a Skels show. What I didn’t know was Jonny’s ability to growl so masterfully as
demonstrated on “The Bottle and the Bow”. The music
and the growl is straight ahead Celtic Punk, very much in the vein of The Skels and
Flogging Molly with some Bouncing Souls/$wingin' Utter$ style punk. Recommended.

Long time Swaggerin Growlers have finally put together a release that lives up to the legends they have become in the Celt-punk underground in the Boston area. This 14 song release is a like the the road journal of a crazy drunkard talking about life experinces, love, friendships, and of course... drinking.... what's not to love there? I think I played this disc non-stop for 24 hours and still couldn't find a bad track on the disc... this is high energy celt-punk with both bite and humor... and my new disc to pre-game before going out to the pub. I can't wait to see these boys live!
If you dig the sounds of The Skels, Vandon Arms, Porters, or even early Dropkick Murphys... you'll love this disc!

The Bottle and the Bow is the self-released, first full-length CD from the New England-based band The Swaggerin' Growlers.
The band's Irish folk-punk sound has been compared to groups like the Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers, and The Dropkick Murphys.
The 14 tracks of music found on this release run the gamut from all-out driving punk beats and bar fight type songs to those that have a meandering, melodic flow to them.
Fast or slow, soft or loud, the one thing that all of the songs have in common is that they're good. The band's rebellious spirit shines strongly in the lyrics.
It's also nice to hear something besides the usual guitar and drum parts grabbing all of the attention. You'll also be treated to accordion, tin whistle, mandolin, and banjo parts in the songs.
This is the kind of feisty music that gets your heart pumping and the blood flowing.
If you like your music with an Irish flavor to it, or just looking for something a little bit out of the norm, then The Bottle and the Bow from The Swaggerin' Growlers is for you.
