Discover Blackbeard’s Tea Party — a high-energy pirate folk rock band mixing sea shanties, Celtic-leaning folk, and sharp political protest songs — on this episode of “Bands You’ve Never Heard Of.”
JR introduces Gary to York, England’s own Blackbeard’s Tea Party, a high-energy folk rock band blending sea shanties, traditional tunes, punk attitude, and theatrical stage vibes. You’ll hear how JR discovered them through White Noise at Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s, why “Chicken on a Raft” hooked him instantly, and what makes originals like “I Am People” and “England Bound” hit so hard.
In the second half of the episode, Blackbeard’s Tea Party join the show to talk about their DIY videos, their love of outlandish outfits and mirrorball helmets, navigating the English vs. Scottish folk scenes, and writing protest songs that still feel like a party.
