The Whisky Priests - Here Come The Ranting Lads Live
Review by Uma Shanker Saini
Here Come The Ranting Lads is an album that showcases the raw and energetic sound of Whisky Priests. The band's signature blend of folk and punk rock is on full display throughout the album, making it a must-listen for fans of both genres.
The album kicks off with the title track "Here Come The Ranting Lads," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its fast-paced, foot-stomping rhythm and catchy chorus. Other standout tracks include "The Colliery," a haunting ballad about the struggles of coal miners, and "The Blackleg Miner," a traditional folk song given a punk rock twist.
One of the strengths of the album is the way it seamlessly blends traditional folk instrumentation, such as accordion and fiddle, with the driving energy of punk rock. This creates a unique sound that is both familiar and fresh.

About The Whisky Priests
The Whisky Priests were a UK based folk rock band formed in 1985 by twin brothers Gary Miller (Lead vocalist, songwriter and guitarist) and Glenn Miller (Accordion). Their debut release was the 7" single, 'The Colliery' (1987) and a string of critically acclaimed singles, EPs and albums and a live video recorded in Hamburg, Germany followed. They were renowned for their exciting live shows performing hundreds of times throughout Europe before calling it a day in 2002 following their final release 'Bloody Well Live! Special Edition' double CD. In 2018, they reformed for a brief Reunion Tour and released 'Bloody Well Everything! (The Complete Works 1985-2000)', a limited edition 12-disc CD Box Set.
