With over 80 MILLION streams on Spotify alone, The Dreadnoughts are the biggest band you've never heard of. Formed in the dirty and violent back rooms of Vancouver's infamous Ivanhoe Hotel back in '06, they've been on a cider-fueled bender across the globe bringing their furious brand of celtic polka punk klezmer mayhem to an ever-growing legion of obsessed fans. After ducking and weaving through countless travel restrictions, the Dreadnoughts managed to converge at Factory Underground Studios in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA, to learn, record and mix an entire album in nine days. We'll say that again: nine days. It was a harrowing, intense experience, one made even more intense by the fact that six guest musicians were recording their own parts in six different cities around the world, and that all of this had to be coordinated with virtually no time. But they got it done. The result is Roll and Go: the Dreadnoughts fifth, and possibly finest, studio album. "The Dreadnoughts bring life and energy from the past and create immersive, visual music that transports you to wherever (or whenever) they are singing about." - PunkNews |
