We recently had the glorious opportunity to check out the new record , “On Yer Bike” , via Stomp Records, from Vancouver Celtic punk lifers The Real McKenzies. You can loose yourself in the greatness of “On Yer Bike “ Here

The Real McKenzies are one musical experience you cannot ignore .

Their first full-length release since the closing of Fat Wreck Chords, the record marks both a new chapter and a defiant continuation for one of punk’s most enduring and hard-touring bands, proof that even as one era winds down, The Real McKenzies are still charging forward, boots laced and bagpipes blazing.

Founded in 1992 by the larger-than-life Scottish punk poet laureate Paul McKenzie, The Real McKenzies have spent over three decades dragging their tartan-clad chaos across continents, from sticky pub floors to festival stages, building a legacy somewhere between a Highland march and a barroom brawl. Long before Celtic punk became a festival staple, they were out there doing it the hard way, fusing traditional Scottish melodies with the speed, grit, and attitude of punk rock. Through lineup changes, label shifts, and enough miles to circle the globe several times over, McKenzie has remained the constant, steering the ship with equal parts mischief, grit, and a healthy disregard for authority.

We have had “On Yer Bike “ on repeat for days, and we are absolutely hooked. Totaling 31 minutes over 13 tracks , The Real McKenzies give absolutely everything they have ( and believe us you can feel it )

There is not a bad track to be found on, “On Yer Bike” Some of our favorites include, “Shackleton” you can check out the video Here

As well as … “Read A Book”, “The Mad Trapper Of Rat River “ and “Liver Spot” Honest with the sound and electricity that The Real McKenzies generate, we find it almost impossible not to love them instantly.

If we had to pick a favorite song we would absolutely go with the rousing “I Wanna Eat Sardines (with yer mother) The absolutely rocks. You want a song that kicks ass and makes you smile ?? ( THIS IS THE SONG )

Make your music loving heart happy and check out “On Yer Bike” from The Real McKenzies ( you will thank us later)
