Circle J –BIO
Circle J have been playing their folk infused punk for over a decade,
amassing a mad horde of followers at whatever shore they set foot.
Their infectious mix of stomping punk and sing-along folktales has been a
sure-fire recipe for heavy partying, drinking, dancing and assorted acts of
mayhem.
Their albums
have been
consistently
well-received by
critics and
hailed by
folkpunk fans
and party lovers
alike. Their
latest album,
‘Year of the Goat’ (2015), brings you another treasure trove of folk punk
and introduces Young God Ed, whose guitar heroism joins the already
legendary arsenal of bagpipes, banjo, mandolin and tin whistlethat will
knock your socks off and leave you thirsty for more. On stage, the
lowlands’ First Family of Folkpunk roars and blazes like an adolescent
dragon on paxtaran.Hoton the heels of ‘Year of the Goat’, another infusion
of young blood behind the drums will be catapulting Circle J across the
lowlands and beyond and may well have them storming a stage near
you.So sharpen your axes, put on your dancin’ boots and join the Mighty
Circle J for a fine bout of folkpunk frenzy.
