Turbo sea shanties, folk chaos, and drinking songs out of Glasgow.

“We’ve always written songs about the sea. It’s a kind of muse for us. We take inspiration from the old tales of the sea. But all of us have been in bands previous to this, all with very different styles, and this all comes into the mix,” said Slevin. “Glasgow’s a rough city, so we also take inspiration from the characters who live here. We tend to stick to songs that we find make us feel good when we play them over and over again.”  — Coffee or Die
