The Real Mckenzies
10,000 Shots
(Fat Wreck Chords)

Thanks to Boston and London, punk rock suffers no shortage of Mick or Brit pride, but if you’ve got a bit of Scot in you, who’s screaming for your team? That would be the Real Mckenzies. If you’ve been paying attention for the last 13 years, then you already know about this Vancouver band. If you haven’t, this album lets you get to know them up close and in person - what they think of you, their band, constant touring, the fans, and everything they gave up so that you could have the privilege of listening to their music. And a privilege, it is. If you like bagpipes with your hard core, you’ll like The Real Mckenzies. Hell, if you like solid punk music, then you’ll like The Real McKenzies. And if you like Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Pogues, Filthy Thievin' Bastards, or Tossers then go out and grab yourself a copy of The Real Mckenzies’ latest, 10,000 Shots. - Valeria Vegas
