Hop on board with Celtic punk pirates PADDY AND THE RATS and crack into their upcoming album, From Wasteland to Wonderland, out on April 29, 2022 via Napalm Records. With their sixth full-length, the vigorous outfit serves a top-notch pirate party fueled by a heavy dose of punk, polka and folk, turning the world into a giant pub! This Irish influenced sound will surely bring up the urge to slam down a cold one while swinging happily along arm in arm to the beat! Formed in 2008 by singer and songwriter Paddy, the untamed unit managed to build a respective name within the scene due to hard work and extensive touring all over Europe with more than 400 shows, including the world famous Wacken Open Air and the Sziget Festival. For the new album, PADDY AND THE RATS teamed up once again with producer Zoli Baker.
