@oldsk00l1964 said in Looking up Hurdy Gurdy led me to this....A Pirate Folk Metal band:

I ran across a Lovely German gal explaining the workings of a Hurdy Gurdy. And then I followed a link then another then this came to view, http://storm-seeker.com/ . Rare you need to have these folks add music to this game !! A Pirate Folk METAL band. I'm an old f**t and this Band is really really great.

No no no, I have what your looking for.

Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge [HQ]

@oldsk00l1964 One more I thought of -

The band Wilderun is fantastic and their first album has a good handful of pirate-y songs - including this cover of an age old classic:

- YouTube

Original for those interested:

The Coast of High Barbary

Just a bump to see if more folks can add to Pirate themed bands we have gotten so far. Enjoy the music.

Awesome tunes mateys. Some of that stuff (Swashbuckle notably) will scrape the scurvy right off yer teeth. \11/

Black Bones -
defunct Italian Pirate Rock band with some punk leanings.

I watched this and totally lost it! I am still laughing! Guys! Guys! We are bringing the Hurdy Gurdy back!

@oldsk00l1964 If you are looking for Sea Shanties I made a somewhat haphazard YouTube playlist with heaps. The first 4 videos on this playlist each have about an hour of sea-shanties with very little overlap.

Pirate Tunes

@bodhislam Nice I was beginning to really get into Sea Shantys lately and was looking to expand. I was trying to dredge up an older Opera Style pirate band from long ago but can't for life of me remember the damn name. But Thanks for the added list

@oldsk00l1964 Awesome - I was not aware of this bands existence! You may also enjoy the following bands:

Alestorm - Probably the most well-known pirate metal band.
The Dread Crew of Oddwood - Leaning more towards folk-type sounds, really fun band.
Swashbuckle - Heavier, but piratey.
Runing Wild - Has assorted stuff but lots of great pirate metal.
Lagerstein - Leaning towards punk-metal, this band is another one worth checking out.

Enjoy!
