THE MARY WALLOPERS to Launch Spring 2027 North American Tour

Irish folk rock band The Mary Wallopers have released their third album Paddywhackery via BC Records. Paddywhackery follows 2023's acclaimed Irish Rock'n'Roll, the first album to feature original songs written by The Mary Wallopers. The new record marks a major leap forward, capturing a band operating with a confidence, chemistry, and raw power that sets them apart from virtually anyone else making music today.

Standout early singles from Paddywhackery include 'Crowns Of England' - described by The Guardian as 'sure to have Nigel Farage spitting his bitter out'; the band's pure and simple anti-gentrification anthem 'Landlord's Demise'; 'Kit Kat Club' which tells the tale of a drinking mission that 'sent them down to Hell' and sees the writer can proudly declare their own status as a socialist; and 'The Big Mixer,' an anthem to all of the workers who keep the machine going, whatever the circumstances, whatever the weather, whatever the pay.

Recorded over an intense two-week session in Liverpool with Skelly and engineer Chris Taylor, Paddywhackery harnesses the band's exhilarating live energy without sacrificing nuance or precision. The result is an album that bursts from the speakers with infectious verve, heart, and swagger - one that practically demands to be played again, and again, and again.

The band – Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, Ken Mooney, Róisín Barrett, Finnian O'Connor and Catriona Gribben – also recently announced their 2027 North American headline tour, kicking off March 4th in Philadelphia and including two nights at New York's Irving Plaza before wrapping in Los Angeles on April 2. Tickets for all North American Wallopers shows are available now via marywallopers.com.
