SCOTCH GREENS - PROFESSIONAL


I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I was going to be reviewing this album. I caught these guys opening up for Flogging Molly in March and was quite impressed with their brand of blue-collar rock 'n' roll. PROFESSIONAL truly captures the working-class sound these boys have made their own. Banjos and mandolins accompany the foot-stomping, fast-paced first track, "Rumspringa". From there, there is no looking back, as they throw us on a roller-coaster ride of in-your-face rock that lasts for the entire album. Fans of Flogging Molly would highly enjoy this band and album. Whether you pick up this album or see them live, Scotch Greens are sure to please your musical taste buds.
