(DL33) GREENLAND WHALEFISHERS - Thirsty Cave Rate: 8 Stars My favorite band from Norway is probably Greenland Whalefishers and this record was released in 2015. You don't have to come from Ireland to play good folk music or folk punk or folk rock or whatever to call it. You can come from Bergen in Norway and succeed well. I have a half-sister in Bergen and her children but they have never heard of the group which I find strange. Because this kind of music should be able to resonate with people other than punks, etc. Arvid's slightly raspy voice fits so well with their music and I just love this band. The ten songs could fit on any Pogues record and I think they take that as a compliment. Nice too with a band like this that only plays their own songs and not a lot of covers because it feels like it's pretty common in this genre. Not much to hesitate about if you like TMTCH, Pogues etc. 7/12-2022

“This is a tremendously good album and I feel it is
the Greenland Whalefishers best release to date. Without a doubt “The
Thirsty Cave” will leave the listener thirsty for more!”

“Greenland Whalefishers have pulled out of their hat yet another fresh
sounding album chockablock of some fantastic Celtic Punk” “This fine
album is up there with the best of The Greenland Whalefishers I am happy
to say and will I am sure, set the scene alight if there is any justice
in this world.”

“After 20 years, Greenland
Whalefishers new album is as fresh as their earlier material. I’d say
that a Greenland Whalefisher album is like a Harry Hole novel by Jo
Nesbø. They never let us down and we (the fans) enjoy it from the
beginning to the end. Norway’s best exports.”

“Angel” is another example of the
band going in a new direction and I like it. If Tom Waits and Shane
MacGowan collaborated on a song, this is how it would probably sound….”
“I want groggy Celtic punk rock with catchy melodies, excellent fiddle
and whistle playing, and music that makes me want to dance like an
animal. Greenland Whalefishers provides all of that and are the top of
the heap when it comes to Celtic punk music. Hey Americans, stop
listening to the same Celtic punk bands and give Norway’s Greenland
Whalefishers a try!”

“Twenty one years on the go and Arvid
Grov and his band of merry Vikings are still pouring out the finest
Celtic-punk this side of the Pogues” |
