The Mary Wallopers - Irish Rock N Roll CD/LP

The Mary Wallopers release their second album "Irish Rock ’n’ Roll" and follows last year’s hugely acclaimed self-titled debut (“these youngsters are all about presenting vibrancy, saltiness and edge via roots music from a bygone age, at a moment when such qualities are all but absent form contemporary pop” - Mojo).  

If every album an artist makes offers a snapshot of where they stand at that point, then the picture presented by "Irish Rock ’n’ Roll" is one of a band preparing to go stratospheric. It’s an album that manages to perfectly capture the chaos, humour and excitement of the band’s recent live shows whilst also showcasing the incredible emotional of the traditional ballads that they play (both in songs passed down from previous generations and - for the first time on this record - their own songs that promise to be passed down to future generations).

One of those traditional ballads - Wexford - is the second single from the album following The Holy Ground and it’s online everywhere now.
