Featuring The Blue Bloods’ T.J. Welch and Slapshot guitarist Ed Lalli (here on vocals), The Welch Boys have enough going for them to cause some waves based solely on name recognition. Unfortunately, that’s most likely also where it ends because “Drinkin’ Angry” sounds like a very simplistic version of that other Boston band that used to play streetpunk… yes boys and girls, I do mean the early version of the Murphys.
I know I know… no one listens to streetpunk with the hopes of hearing something original. But this is a little too banal to deserve repeated listens. Also better than The Welch Boys : The Blue Bloods, Ducky Boys, Angel City Outcasts and a whole lot of other streetpunk bands.
Score: 5 out of 10
