Happy Ol' McWeasel To Release Album 'No Offence'
'No Offence' is the debut album from Slovenian seven-piece, Happy Ol' McWeasel. Combining an intriguing mixture of Celtic soul, folk and punk elements, the group have built upon their incredible live performances to produce this work.
- (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2012 - Channelling the Celtic soul that proudly follows in the traditions of the Dropkick Muphys, Flogging Molly and The Real McKenzies, Slovenian folk punk heroes Happy Ol' McWeasel's vibrant, whiskey soaked melodies are already revered around Southeastern Europe. This has a;ready established the band as one of Slovenia's biggest acts and their debut album, 'No Offence', is sure to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2012
Recorded by SAE award winner Martin Bezjak (Epix Productions) and mastered by the legendary Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios, 'No Offence' taps into an old world country vibe, deploying the usual instrumental suspects and adding accordion, fiddle, and banjo to make for an authentic Celtic sound and most importantly, fun-loving tunes.
Their beer-fuelled, high-energy live performances could compel even the most morose of men to dance and have gained them spots playing with punk icons the Misfits, Slovenian national television performances, headlining Lent Festival (the largest in Slovenia) and playing a New Years Eve concert in Maribor to 20.000 people. Blaze Bailey (ex-Iron Maiden vocalist) even joined them on stage for a song at their album release party.
Having also garnered a significant international following on YouTube for their videos 'Hair Grizzly' and 'Irish Rover', Happy Ol' McWeasel are clearly ready to bring their ruckus to the rest of the world and 'No Offence' is the album that's going to unleash it.
