Newly minted Celtic folk-punks THE WALKER ROADERS have unveiled a lyric video for their first single.
'Will You Go Lassie Go' is taken from the band's self-titled debut album, out on 23 August.
Led by THE POGUES co-founder and accordionist James Fearnley, the band also features former DROPKICK MURPHYS multi-instrumentalist Marc Orrell, and FLOGGING MOLLY co-founder Ted Hutt. They're joined on the album by bassist Brad Wood, fiddler Kieran Mulroney and drummer Bryan Head. Based in L.A., the band take their name from a notorious street gang in Fearnley's fome city of Manchester.
"I'd come across Ted loads since arriving in Los Angeles years ago," explains Fearnley. "Socially, gastronomically, not least musically, beginning with Brad Wood suggesting me to play accordion on an album Ted was producing. It developed from there. Marc, I knew from Dropkick Murphys opening for The Pogues one Christmas. And then he surfaced in L.A. It was an opportunity too good to pass up to bring us together with others I’d played with that had talent, an instrument and an ear."
