Tires of sea shanties? Might I suggest some land shanties instead?

Check out the Dreadnoughts, fucking amazing Canadian band
Zajebiscie, Kurwa! Fucking love the Dreadnoughts :)
I'm lucky enough to have seen them twice, just amazing all around
I am a confirmed reptile when it comes to the weather, but I braved Toronto in winter to see them play Lee's Palace... no regrets.
The first time I saw them was at a New Year's Eve show at The Rickshaw in Vancouver. IIRC, they were opening for Ninjaspy, who were friends of mine (could've been the other way around, it was almost 20 years ago). The two bands joined forces to lead the crowd in a midnight singalong of Bohemian Rhapsody.
I used to go to The Dreadnoughts' annual Punkstravaganza mini festival at The Rickshaw every year, but I moved away a few years ago. Now I only brave the winter drive if they release a new album or if I'm really into one of the openers.
They're one of my 10-year-old stepkid's favourite bands. I've promised to take her to see them if they're still playing when she turns 19.
The internet saw one guy’s YouTube video of him doing a 4-part arrangement of Wellerman and now everyfuckingbody thinks they love sea shanties.
I mean, I know what it's like to have "tourists" invading your space after some trend blows up, but there could very much be a new wave of people who have grown to love or enjoy a sea shanty or two now. If people aren't introduced to something, how would they ever know they like it?
If a person liked a venre enough to make a playlist, I'd say they're enough of a fan. It's like people who are discovering the fun in "classical" (baroque, classical, romantic, etc.) music.
I liked sea shanties before they were cool
Started for me with Muppet Treasure Island, then reinforced with Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
I got into it because of the Aubrey/Maturin novels. They mention a few of them in there and I made a playlist of them.
Then I created an Irish Rock Pandora station for March and that had a ton more.
This one is my favorite, but the whole album is a banger
Thanks for that.
If you haven't already heard, give Misbehavin' Maidens a whirl. Very fond of Granny's Advice.
Yeah, I totally don't have a 3 hour long sea shanty playlist, no sireee
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now...
One time in high school this girl came up to our lunch table and said "isn't it funny how white people have no culture?" so I looked at the only other white guy at the table and sang the first line to this song, and then he sang back. We had never even discussed it before, lucky guess that he knew it. Everyone else asked wtf that was and I said "oh you wouldn't understand, it's a white people thing".
A letter of mark came from the king

I too came here to spellcheck this :D
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen
GOD DAMN THEM ALL
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier,
the last of Barrett's privateers.
Oh Elcid Barrett cried the town
(How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now)
For 20 brave men all fishermen who…
Would make for him the Antelope's crew.
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen
I miss me lass
Got it, folk songs about labor it is
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die...
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky!
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out!
🎵I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night...
Alive as you and me
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
I never died says he!
Long haired preachers come out every night, try to tell what's wrong and what's right...
But when asked about something to eat, they reply in voices so sweet...
Alestorm!!
Windrose is a pretty good game but the shanty button makes it peak.
Could use a bit more variation though. It gets old pretty quick.
Oh a drop of good spiced rum wouldn't do us any harm
And we'll all hang on behind
And we'll roll the old Berath's wheel along
