They transferred their most successful songs which have been viewed over 70 million times on YouTube into very unusual genres. They steered their ship far away from their well known Irish Folk Punk into the oceans of pop, metal, ska and even barbershop music. But still you can hear their identity in every single note of this special album. The waters may be different but the ship is still the same. As they have shown on their cover “The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats” are seeing their music with different eyes and went beyond Irish Folk Punk. At least with every song but a new one that was not even planned to be on this record.
