With nearly 10 years of mayhem under their sporrans, The Real McKenzies are true road warriors. Always touring, always drinking, and always rockin’, the haggis-fueled McKenzie clan is hearty bunch that desires only to bring their brand of Celtic punk rock to every remote corner of the globe. Dirty Kurt puts it best, “We’ve been through tons of members, tons of broken bones, and tons of beer!” Their unending tour schedule would make William Wallace himself exhausted.

Their latest conquest and debut album on Honest Don's, Loch’d & Loaded, is a 16-song full length that is sure to put the Real McKenzies on the map and enshrine them as true Scottish folk heroes. Loch’d & Loaded is the first McKenzies full length to be released worldwide and clearly their best stuff yet. Loch’d & Loaded features six traditional Celtic ditties re-done Real McKenzie style. Guitarist Dirty Kurt clearly explains, “We don’t wanna cut into our drinkin’ time, so we spend as little time as possible in the studio.” Makes perfect sense.

Always performing in full Highland regalia, the Real McKenzies are a true credit to their ancestors. For their live show they don kilts, high stockings, and sporrans (those weird belt thingies). And you really have to see the size of their bagpipe player’s mohawk to truly appreciate it! Okay okay, so it’s not entirely traditional, but their live show is hands down the rowdiest punk show this side of Glasgow. These inclusive punks see to it that everyone has a good time and a stiff drink in their hand. Preferably Scotch.
