Rats in the Burlap is the latest salvo from celtic punks THE REAL McKENZIES. 

The album opens with a rousing anthem worthy of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and maintains the boot-stomping passion throughout. 

 

After 23 years of traversing the globe to spread their festive, high-octane, booze-fueled brand of punk rock, THE McKENZIES show no signs of slowing. 

With street-punk standards highlighted by traditional Scottish musical elements, Rats in the Burlap is the perfect representation of what the band does best.

 

From the fast paced, ultra-riffy punk classic Whod a Thought to the penny whistle that playfully ambles its way through the catchy You Wanna

Know What, the sing-along spirit of the album never lets up.

THE REAL McKENZIES only feel at home while on the road, so rest assured that theyll be sweeping across the land in a dust cloud of big riffs, bagpipes, and pint-hoisting revelry.
