Vancouver Scottish punk rock legends “The Real McKenzies” has delivered again on the latest release “Rats In The Burlap”. This album was produced by Mike Burett at Motor Studio in San Fransisco and released in the U.S through Fat Wreck Chords and Stomp Records in Canada. Lyrical content on “Rats In the Burlap” range from anger against tyranny with “Who’d Thought” and “Yes”, to touring life abroad on “Midnight train to Moscow”, to life’s personal views on “Lilacs In The Alley” and “Spinning Wheels” the album flows with a mood that people can relate to and cheers their pints in the air. This album has always has the Celtic Folk-Punk feel but also the notorious pace of Bagpipes chords and rhythm the McKenzies are known for. A well crafted full of energy album much like their shows that will get yer jigging beer spilling mood going in no time. After many line up changes and years gone by it remains full on that the Real McKenzies will always be around to stir it up and support the scene they love so much. This album has that specific Celtic punk rock sound but is also reminiscent of that early 80’s punk sound that strikes deep for both the new generation of punks and the oldschool relics that lifestyles will never change. The Real McKenzies are on tour across Canada then off to Europe. The release will be out on March 24 on Stomp Records available through the Stomp/Union label store site and FatWreck Chords in the United States on April 7.

“Spilt my Beer and Wore a hole In the Floor Jigging and running in circles to this non stop in yer face wicked good times”
