"It's edgy, new and above all different..." - The Bar Stool Preachers are like good medicine against the prevailing mediocrity, apathy, hamster wheel routine, and standardization in the current music industry. The ska-infused and streetpunk-inspired quintet from Brighton delivers melodic and, despite all dissent and criticism, mostly optimistic songs that stick in your head and leave a broad, benevolent smile on faces after just one listen. That’s how it should be said/sung.
Whether in front of large crowds at rallies and street parties or in tiny clubs and bars, whether in front of thousands of festival-goers or as support for well-known bands, the Bar Stool Preachers guarantee a great night of dancing - with drive, enthusiasm, and good, pure straightforward music.
"... the whole energy of the SPECIALS in their prime"
Vive Le Rock Magazine / UK
BLATANT PROPAGANDA combines original 2-Tone sounds with modern influences and surprises, adds a bit of reggae and dub, and then refines everything with a good dose of hardcore vibes into a true and "handmade" style.
The album features sharply observant, witty lyrics and grounded punk reminiscences - The Clash, Rancid, or Cock Sparrer, (frontman TJ McFaull is the son of Cock Sparrer's Colin McFaull and is also referred to as the "Whirlwind of Charisma").
Lyrically, the Bar Stool Preachers never hide their intentions: they demand social justice and want to change the course of things - with provocative "Food for Thoughts" and positively forward-presented beliefs. There’s always an angry undertone in their songs, and live it almost seems as if they could always get exactly what they demand.
HISTORY
Since their founding in the summer of 2014, the Bar Stool Preachers have been captivating audiences with melodic and sometimes very optimistic music and powerful live shows. Their countless gigs in the UK and on the European mainland have earned them a fair amount of respect and insider fame among audiences and fanzine writers over the last 2 years.
Their debut single "One Fool Down" sold over 2000 copies within a month and gave the band a dream start
Despite all their success, the Bar Stool Preachers have not forgotten their roots and intentions; they remain involved in action days, benefit events, and local rallies, whether in refugee work, against social injustice, or against homelessness. The "Bar Stool Preachers" do not just sit on their stools and preach, but stand up for what they sing about, and their fans know that.
