I like this band. I thought they were Scottish, from Terry Clark's vocals and their use of bagpipes and pennywhistles, but they are from Richmond, Virginia. They are classified as "folk rock," instead of "Brazilian polka metal" as their guitarist has claimed.
(Unsurprisingly, I have lived and worked in Richmond, which was the capital of the Confederate States of America. You can see Civil War trenches and cannon emplacements near the airport.)
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

Like the song, the video sucks though. I love any history about the civil war, seeing the trenches and cannon emplacements would be cool.
They certainly sound as if they were Scottish. They're pretty good.
