-----------------------
The Young Dubliners are excited for the release of Saints and Sinners, their
second album on 429 Records--and first batch of original material since 2005's
critically acclaimed Real World. After taking an exciting retro, rootsy labor
of love detour to give a shout out to the masters of Irish song past and present
on their 2007 429 Records debut "With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions", the
Young Dubliners drew inspiration from the trials and tribulations of the past few
years on the road where they have encountered their share of, to borrow from an
Irish proverb, "poets and patriots, saints and sinners", for the new album.
Seamlessly blending their rock and Celtic influences into a high energy, anthemic
and lyrically poignant mix, the band whose lineup since 2002 includes co-founder
Keith Roberts (vocals, guitar), fellow Dubliner Brendan Holmes (bass, vocals),
American-born members Bob Boulding (guitar, vocals), Chas Waltz (violin, keyboards,
harp, mandolin, vocals) and Dave Ingraham (drums, percussion)--jumps energetically
from ballad to barn burner, documenting as they go the vibrant yet chaotic world they
find themselves in. From edgy political tunes to the travails of life in an internationally
touring band, Saints and Sinners chronicles and tackles it all with joy, wit, enthusiasm
and a profound belief that things can get better. They're joined once again by Uillean
pipe and pennywhistle master Eric Rigler, famed for his film work on the Titanic and
Braveheart soundtracks, who has appeared on the bands last three albums and is a regular touring member.
"We really set a very high standard for ourselves as songwriters", says Roberts. "We live
on the road, but were aware that if every few years we dont give our fans the highest
quality songs we can, that level of excitement and anticipation may not last forever.
Weve never been about hit singles, but we have always been focused on making the 12 tracks
per project the best they could be. We consider ourselves songwriters first and never just
jammed styles together to sell albums. Our goal has always been to keep getting better and
make the songs mean something. When we did Real World, it was the beginning of when we started
writing with a fun, personal realization of where we were in our lives as artists and family men,
combined with an awareness of our political surroundings".
