Band: Greenland Whalefishers
Greenland Whalefishers have been playing for allmost ten years, they have a sound that is very similar to what the Pogues did on their first two albums and Arvid Grov's voice is very similar to that of Shane Mac Gowan, so much in fact that Mac Gowan once did not even realise that it was not him singing on a record that was played to him on Norweigan radio. They come from Norway's second city of Bergen, which is situated on the west coast of the country. They have toured in the UK, Poland, Italy and Czech Republic and are looking to break into the USA if anyone is willing to give them a chance. If they were Irish or pretending to be Irish I am sure they would be a lot bigger but they are not pretending to be anything, they are just Norweigan's who have a strong love for Irish music and enjoy playing it so why not? They have so far released 5 singles and 3 full length albums, a lot of their early releases are now deleted but you can check the website for avalibility. If you like good irish trad music that is crossed with punk and sounds poguesy without ripping off the band completely then this band is what you have been looking for. |
13 songs of Celtic music at it's best! The Greenland Whalefishers would be best described as the Pogues if they were turned up to eleven! If you like the Pogues, you'll absolutely love GWF's new album “Down and Out.” EXCELLENT STUFF

Album: Amazing Space (B-sides and other crap)
Label: Deadlamb Records
Norway's Answer to The Pogues have been playing folk/punk since 1994 and in that time have released 4 full length albums and 6 singles, the singles had many great songs which did not appear on the albums and were mostly sold out so we put together a 17 track cd with single b-sides, unreleased tracks plus a bonus live track. For fans of Irish music crossed with punk like Floggin Molly or Blood Or Whiskey, then you must check out this band, they take the sound of the Pogues on their early records and give it a new lease of life.
