Review → Sharks Come Cruisin’ – A Past We Forget That We Need to Know (2011)
Hailing from Providence, RI, Sharks Come Cruisin’– not to be confused, as I did initially, with the Sharks– play music that could be best be described as hopped up sea shanties. There’s a Celtic flair to some of the songs, and when they kick it up with electric instrumentation- as on “Strike the Bell”- it might even cross into Celtic-punk, but unlike so many of the bands that have been tagged in that genre, especially in the commercial wake of the Dropkick Murphys just north of these fellas, it’s not forced, or worse, cheesy.
