Keep Your Head Held High The Swaggerin' Growlers second release. We got more shameless and brash on this record, if you can believe it. It's damn well near 60 minutes long, too. It kicks ass, and so will you if you buy it. $10.00 + $3.50 Shipping and Handling ($5.50 International) USD Praises for Keep Your Head Held High: Bonnie (local drunken floozy, advanced reviewer) The new CD came out great. I've had it in my car since Hutchie gave it to me Saturday night and I keep playing it over and over. Some songs are so good I've had to play them on repeat. The Boston Phoenix: Opening with a gorgeous a cappella rendering of traditional Irish tearjerker "The Green Fields of America" (they need to let tin-whistle/violin player Annie Libertini sing more), the disc clatters through calamitous carols about drinking, poverty, friendship, and sentimentalizing all that, which is a very Irish thing to do. Shining bits include the title track, "Whiskey After Dark," and "Where Do I Go from Here." |

The Bottle and the Bow The Swaggerin' Growlers full length debut. 14 Songs about madness, living life in the modern world, defiance, determination, love, friendship, loyalty, the open road, and of course, drinking heavily. $10.00 + $3.50 Shipping and Handling ($5.50 International) USD Praises for The Bottle and the Bow: WBZ-TV A-List: Best of Boston Top 20 Celt Albums of 2007: 20 - Paddy Rock Radio 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!
