I saw The Greenland Whalefishers perform in a toilet bowl of a venue in Birmingham 12 months ago,they were really good live.One of the band members is nick named 'Two Sheds',after a character from an early Monty Python sketch Arthur 'Two sheds'Jackson,his brother is the lead vocalist,a strange looking guy who sings a bit like Shane at times.

Compared to your always very classy fine linen(is that good english?) they chose some more revolutionary clothes I guess



Actually, that's what annoys me the most with this band. They think they need to get some punk credibiliy or accreditation so they always wear Bad Religion shirts, Ramones hats, Clash pins, etc. Their clothes are like a punk supermarket. I don't see the difference between that and some rap-ass wearing a ton of branded clothes.

Yeah, that's so anoying...?.
I like bands because of the music, not the clothes. Disliking this band because of the clothes is like disliking The Pogues because of MacGowans teeth.. Perhaps you should stick to Justin Bieber, he is good looking :lol: If you bother to read the bands bio, you will soon discover the band consists of old punks that has a common interest in playing celtic folk, not the other way around...

What the hell are you talking about? This is so not the point I was trying to make. A punk who feels he has to wear a Bad Religion t-shirt, a Sex Pistols hat, Clash pins and a NOFX jackstrap to be punk is more of a poser than anything else. I like the music. I just think that dressing that way makes you look like an idiot. People don't hesitate to laugh at rappers who wear tons of branded clothes, so we're not allowed to do it when it concerns so-called punks? That Justin Bieber comment was really stupid.
