Wake The Rebels

2023

Breathtaking energy and traditional folk, wrapped in a modern punk garb, result in a unique band symbiosis that is transferred to the audience from the very first second: Irish Folk Punk. This seven-piece Band from Gevelsberg, Germany, has transported their love and joy for Irish music into the world since 2011. With their Irish folk punk, The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats deliver an extraordinary band sound that creates the perfect atmosphere everywhere. Whether it’s a club show or a festival – a huge party is guaranteed. Their reach speaks for itself: Throughout Europe, the band brings their show to the stage in front of an enthusiastic audience! And this is also reflected in the new album “Wake The Rebels”. “Wake the Rebels” ignites the fire of independence and is a powerful blend of intoxicating sound and intrepid spirit. For the band, “Wake the Rebels” represents a musical escape from the routine and a call to raise their voices. With its powerful message, the album is a real “wake-up call”. “Wake the Rebels” is not only a musical release, but also a statement that underlines the urgency of change and the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs.

In Strange Waters

2021

“In Strange Waters” is the name of the Paddyhats’ anniversary album on the occasion of their 10th stage anniversary – and rightly so. Because they have put the songs, which have now been viewed more than 70 million times on YouTube, into really unusual genres. Far from their usual Irish folk punk, they steer the ship unerringly into the waters of pop, metal, ska and barbershop music. Still, the band’s identity resonates in every note, because even if the waters are foreign, the ship is the same. The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats, as made clear on their cover, look at each other with completely different eyes and take a step beyond Irish folk punk and not least with a new song that was not actually planned.

Dogs on the Leash

2020

With their 4th album “Dogs on the Leash” the 7 musicians of “The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats” do not leave the dogs on a leash at all. Their rocky-punky music with more than just a dash of life-affirming and sometimes mystical Irish Folk reminds us of a stray mutt who brings back from his travels captivating, often funny but sometimes sad stories and maybe a few fleas. Everything is allowed when Irish melodies meet hard electric guitar and an ancient musical culture meets a modern world. If you don’t leave the club dancing, singing and half staggering, you probably haven’t been to a Paddyhats concert. Because of course there are also enough drinking songs! The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats bring their Irish Folk Punk into your head, your legs and your soul!

Never keep the „Dogs on the Leash“! .

Green Blood

2018

“The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats” may have a complicated name, but their mission is all the more clear: they want to tear you out of your daily routine and drag you onto the dance floor. They want to make you an addict in your car after a concert or a run through one of their albums. Addicted to the energy, passion and lifeblood that “The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats” wrap in every fiber of their being. Their third studio album “Green Blood”, again recorded at the legendary Principal Studios (Die Toten Hosen, In Extremo, Broilers) explains their mission: to infect everything and everyone with the green blood! Anyone can have it, everyone should have it. Take your dose of “Green Blood”! Now! Oh and because of the name – simply “Paddyhats” is enough!
