The Swaggerin’ Growlers is a great name for a band, and a very true to life name. I knew Johnny Swagger (vocals) knew how to swagger as I’ve see him in action at many a Skels show. What I didn’t know was Johnny’s ability to growl so masterfully as demonstrated on “The Bottle and the Bow”. The music and the growl is straight ahead Celtic Punk, very much in the vein of The Skels and Flogging Molly with some Bouncing Souls/$wingin’ Utter$ style punk. Recommended.
