The Bar Stool Preachers - 8.6 Days (All The Broken Hearts)

The Bar Stool Preachers are a 6 piece ska punk, punk rock band from Brighton UK. They are another band that I stumbled across a few years back whilst wandering between the stages at Rebellion whilst there were no bands I wanted to see, The Bar Stool Preachers released their second album in August. They cross many different styles of punk from street punk to ska via angry protest songs, reggae, heavy rock and soppy love songs. They have that heart-on-the-sleeve working class anthems feel with a mix of politically and socially-conscious street punk and ska tunes that could easily hit a wider audience if they get the break they deserve. I could have gone for a number of songs from the album "Grazie Governo" (Italian for Thank you Government) but I have chosen 8.6 Days (All The Broken Hearts) which is a love song unlike any you've heard before, and possibly the standout track of the 13 here.
