Later

High-octane Celtic rock from Moscow that pairs distorted guitars with lightning-fast fiddle jigs. Rowdy, beer-soaked energy for the middle of a long night.

Intro

Imagine the frantic energy of a Dublin pub brawl transported to a Moscow basement club. Later takes traditional Irish melodies and injects them with a heavy dose of punk-rock adrenaline, resulting in a sound that is as much about the mosh pit as it is about the folk tradition. The fiddle isn't just an accompaniment here; it's a lead instrument that shreds with the same intensity as an electric guitar, driving the songs forward at breakneck speeds.

What truly sets them apart is the 'crazy drive' mentioned by their fans. While many Celtic rock bands lean into the polished side of the genre, Later keeps things raw and unrefined. There is a palpable sense of urgency in the percussion and a gravelly, lived-in quality to the vocals that makes every track feel like a live performance. It is music designed for movement, shouting, and the communal joy of a loud, messy celebration.

Start with the album '7 Pint Brawl' to get the full experience. It perfectly captures their signature blend of traditional folk structures and aggressive rock instrumentation. It’s the ideal soundtrack for when you need to turn a quiet evening into a memorable, high-energy event.
