Sounds Like
If Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs joined The Clash, and Shane MacGowan dropped by the rehearsal space for a few (too many) drinks.......and then they all devoted their lives to sailing and plundering the seven seas. It wouldn't hurt if they dabbled in the black arts, either.
The Wages of Sin play traditional music for non-traditionalists. They mix Celtic with country with Appalachian with rockabilly with Tex-Mex with bluegrass, and follow the whole mess with a bracing shot of punk rock. Alternately rowdy and mournful, they're sure to get your feet tapping, your heart palpitating, and your liver crying for mercy. Repent, ye sinners, and be saved!
