Bio (EN)

Drink Hunters was born in Barcelona in 2008 when Pau (drums and vocals) and Aaron (bass and lead vocals) decided to take the path of celtic punk rock. They talked about the idea with Raja (guitar and vocals) to create the basis of the project they had in mind. Only missing the items to fill their energetic punk rock with Irish folk touches. And for that they contacted with Nando (fiddle) and Rosa (accordion). In early 2013 they signed Isra (Irish tin whistles and banjo) who added to the current band.

In 2010, on a shoestring budget, they managed to record their first EP, which was completely self-produced. In 2010 they signed with the label “Discos Rayados” and later that same year they had the opportunity to appear on the “Whiskey Devils Tribute to The Mahones” compilation with the song “Take No Prisoners”.

In late 2011, they presented their first album of 13 songs “With my Crew” which helped them gain recognition and several concerts outside Catalonia and the Iberian Peninsula. In march 2012 they participated in a compilation of Paddy Rock (Paddy Rock Vol. 4) with the track “With my Crew” with other bands as The Mahones or The Rumjacks.
Their second album, “Lurking Behind The Woods” was released in 2014 on Maldito records.

Drink Hunters has shared the stage with bands like The Real Mckenzies, Mad Caddies, Pipes and Pints, The Dreadnoughts, La plebe, Blowfuse, Freygolo, Bastards on Parade, Skontra, Brutus Daughters, among others. They have now succeeded in carrying out concerts around Spain.

Drink Hunters nació en la ciudad de Barcelona el 2008 cuando Pau (batería y coros) y Aaron (bajista y vocalista) decidieron emprender el camino del celtic punk rock. Éstos hablaron de la idea con Raja (guitarrista y coros) para crear los cimientos del proyecto que tenían en mente. Sólo faltaban los elementos que cargaran su enérgico punk rock con toques folclóricos irlandeses y para ello contactaron con Nando (violín) y Rosa (acordeón diatónico). A principios de 2013 ficharon a Isra (irish tin whistles y banjo) que se añadiría a la formación actual.

En 2010, con un presupuesto muy reducido, lograron grabar su primer EP, el cual fue completamente autoproducido.
