Pressgang Mutiny are Toronto’s Shantymen, dedicated to traveling the globe to discover shanties, works songs and the people who sing them.
Their music is deeply grounded in the shanty tradition and anchored on their signature four-part harmony. They also push the boundaries to explore the musical connections between shanties and other genres to showcase everything that shanties can be.
Their third album Departure, and by far their most ambitious project to date, explores the musical connections between shanties and other musical genres and includes sampling, instrumentation, guest musicians – and of course Pressgang Mutiny’s signature four-part harmony.
