Having plundered traditional sea shanties and treasure chests then spiked them with classic rock, punk, ska, and metal, before dragging the whole thing to a sweaty mosh pit, demanding everyone raise a tankard of ale and join the mutiny, Spanish rock crew The Groggy Dogs return with their new album No Grog, No Glory on 23rd April.
To mark their latest return to port, new chant-heavy single ‘One Last Toast’ is out now along with a video you can watch at RAMzine.
Formed in 2020, with two previous albums, Grog O’Clock and Still Groggin’, under their belts, alongside surfing the European festival circuit, No Grog, No Glory twists generational sea shanties into something loud and relevant for the modern age. All recorded raw and self-produced in their own studio.
Using the pirate crew as a metaphor for an ideal, unified society that leaves no one behind, at its core the record is a celebration of loyalty, social unity, and resistance to authority, all seen through an 18th-century pirate lens. The intent is that stories of old taverns and mutinous crews can still work perfectly when you turn the volume up and rally the crew.
Tracks featured on No Grog, No Glory are: ‘Storms Ahead!’, ‘All Hands On Deck’, ‘One Last Toast’, ‘Fifteen Men On A Dead Man’s Chest’, ‘Roll The Grog Around’, ‘The Ballad Of Woodenhand Sam’, ‘Seven Seas Of Grog’, ‘The Sea For The Free’, ‘Go To Sea No More’, ‘Roll The Woodpile Down’ and ‘The Keelhauling Set’.
