Between The Wars

For some people it’s a fire in their bellies. Others have a broken heart to mend. Others just do it to “get the chicks”. Between The Wars are a Melbourne-based celtic folk punk band, designed to make you dance whilst listening to stories from yesteryear and today. Taking influence from icons such as the Pogues and Bruce Springsteen and blending in more contemporary influences like Flogging Molly, Frank Turner and the Dropkick Murphys, the band was formed in 2009 by two friends – this has now expanded into a six-piece folk punk extravaganza. Between The Wars share with you only one message: it’s about the good times and bad, keeping alive the memories you make when you’re awake. The new Between The Wars record "Won't Go Quietly" is out now. "BTW continues with their great story telling in melody, their sound is more edgy" - Celtic blog, Rocking The Craic Previous records: “Carried Away” (2010), “The Rats” (2011), “The Aces Are Coming/I Forget What I’m Doing Here” (2011), “New Ruins” (2012). "Awesome, like a harder-edged Mumford & Sons." - Andrew McMahon, singer/songwriter (Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin) "Between The Wars sound like Guinness!" - Bobby Flynn, singer/songwriter/Australian Idol guy with big hair "They are a great local band, and they give traditional Irish music a fresh new punk sort of feel." - Album review, iTunes.
