Irish Pouges pop/punk/rock from LA. Mostly sweepingly high-tempo high-energy tracks, political lyrics, lots of fiddling, accordion-ing and other traditional-Irish-instruments-ing. Take in a bar with lots of Guinness. 4, 5, 8, 12.
1. Title track.
2. Starts mellow and quiet, Irish punky mood creeps in quickly (fast tempo).
3. Fast tempo love song.
4. * Starts quiet mid tempo strumming, very slowly builds up, percussion and drums added, pace accelerated towards end.
5. * Fast track, flute background throught, surprising short electric guitar solo.
6. Starts mellower, loud-fast-tempo resumes in one minute, and another mellow-fast cycle (longest track at 5 mins)
7. Fast tempo, short track.
8. * Sea and death! Now that’s Irish.
9. Mid tempo ballad.
10. Somewhat mid-eastern theme. mid/fast, loud.
11. Starts acoustic and mellow, breaks into ultra-burning speed.
12.* Quiet banjo-accordion closer.
