I feel like I haven’t seen many new Celtic folk-punk inspired bands come across my email lately and that makes me sad. There was a time where I heard a lot from this subgenre and I was super into it but then, out of nowhere, that flow stopped. Thankfully, The Manky Melters just showed up with their song “Shenanigans” and it is filling that void oh so perfectly.
“Shenanigans” will instantly make you smile. It’s absolutely a jig styled jam that, regardless of where you are or what you’re doing, will make you want to start dancing. Sure, the Celtic folk-punk vibe is front and center throughout this song but The Manky Melters put their own spin on it. There are moments where I get much more of a straight up ska punk vibe to the song and other moments where the vocals reminded me of The Interrupters with a little pop sensibility. You could pick up on a million elements throughout this song but the biggest one is just how solid this song, and subsequently the band, is. So what are you waiting for. Raise your pint, coffee, tea, water… whatever you’re drinking and celebrate the amazingness that is “Shenanigans” from The Manky Melters.
