If you enjoy this kind of music throughout the year, throughout your lifetime, you'd be more likely to enjoy something new, but based in the same traditions. Then, the Kessel Run is for you."

Check out this review at Paddy Rock Radio and www.paddyrock.com from our friend John Bowles! 

From paddyrock.com:

"Since their last release in 2008 “Iron Rations”, it seems that these guys from Philadelphia, PA have drastically taken it to the next level on their new release “The Kessel Run”. Once again another great Pub-Rock release here that will have you singin’, dancin’, and rockin’ out to some amazing original, traditional, and instrumental songs while slamming back some pints of Guinness and fine Irish whiskey between. Hope to finally see these boys here in Chicago sometime… I’m sure they would be a crowd pleaser at any Irish Pub or festival though… maybe I need to make a trip out East.

Tracks of interest: “On The Thorns”, “Molly”, “The Kessel Run”, and one of my personal song-writing favorites with “You Are The One For Me”. "
