Music: The Roughneck Riot are punk-as-folk

There's a Riot goin' on…

Track: The Roughneck Riot – Ignorance Is Easy

File under: Cow-punk. For fans of The Pogues, The Clash, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Sharks etc.

Warrington’s Guinness-fuelled punk-as-folk rockers released their new album This Is Our Day and single Ignorance Is Easy this week.

Punk-meets-folk may not be an original concept in this a world suffering from a Dropkick Murphys/Flogging Molly-induced hangover, but on Ignorance Is Easy the Roughneck Riot bring a fresh intensity and cool songwriting that set them above the pack. Get it down ye.
