With the release of their new single, Sierra, via Punkerton Records, folk-punk legends The Dreadnoughts deliver a haunting sea shanty soaked in longing, lore and a hint of vengeance. The track is the second single from their upcoming full-length album, Polka Pit, that is due out on September 19th. The song’s rousing chorus and gritty narrative beg for pub-wide singalongs, making Sierra an instant classic in the band’s growing catalog of maritime punk anthems. The Dreadnoughts have spent nearly two decades fusing sea shanties, polkas, tarantellas and street punk into their own explosive brand of Folk Punk.

“‘Sierra’ combines two of the greatest musical genres: the sea shanty and the murder ballad. It’s a tale of a lovesick sailor who makes a very bad decision. Polka Pit is a tribute to the magic of punk rock and the power of traditional polka.” (vocalist Nicholas Smyth)
