Circle J – BIO

Circle J serves an explosive brand of folk infused punk – featuring bagpipes, banjo, mandolin, tin whistle and a penchant for mayhem – that is best consumed hot, loud, and washed down with beer. Their infectious mix of stomping punk and sing-along folktales has been a sure-fire recipe for heavy partying, drinking and dancing, and their albums have been consistently well-received by critics and hailed by folkpunk fans and party lovers alike. So sharpen your axes, put on your dancin’ boots and join the Mighty Circle J for a fine bout of folkpunk frenzy. You’ll dance and sweat like a raving mad orc and you’ll be humming shanties well into next week.
