Mischief Brew

Mischief Brew is an Anarchist folk-punk band. It is a wicked concoction by Erik Petersen – a musical feast falling somewhere between the categories of pirate punk, Celtic folk, gypsy swing, devilish jazz, American olde-tyme and country. It’s good music to stomp, kick, pogo, jitterbug, waltz, drink, twist and shout to – whether the performance is solo acoustic or with a backing band of accordion, drums, and mandolin.

Former Cell Mates

“If Former Cell Mates were in charge of drive-time radio playlists, life would be that bit sweeter.” Rock Sound. Former Cell Mates answered their calling in the fruitless, barren wasteland that was the music scene of the new millennium.

“Raucous punk-rawk … sounds great to the sober ear but to the sozzled brain, it sounds mighty.” NME
