Review
The Zydepunks set at this year's NOLA Jazz Fest had the Cajun Waltzers baffled. Everyone else jumped for joy to the speed-core mélange of klezmer tornadoes, Balkan dances, Celtic reels and bayou squeeze-box war. --David Fricke, Rolling Stone
Product Description
The Zydepunks dare you to sit still. By combining several folk traditions (Klezmer, Celtic, Cape Breton, and, of course, Zydeco) along with an adrenaline-fueled punk ethos, the band has catapulted beyond their New Orleans cult following to attract audiences all over the U.S. A Paste Recommends title for November 2008.

Not Zydeco,

This review is from: Finisterre (Audio CD)
I really liked the first Zydepunks' album "...and the Streets Will Flow with Whiskey". It was a heady mix of Cajun, Kleizmer, Blues and other styles of world music. Very cool! On this release however, the band has put out an album devoid of any hint of Cajun music. They have instead chosen to do a purely Kleizmer album. That is not really my thing so I give this release three stars.The thing that made their first album so good was that they could play so many different styles of music, often in the same song. Here, there is only Kleizmer. Maybe the band should change its name? And, as far as Kleizmer goes, there are better bands. Golem is a much better band and so are Gogol Bordello if you want some punk and reggae with your Ashkenazi roots! Zydepunks have gone from being truly interesting to quite mediocre. No clue whatsoever that this band is from Louisiana. I will make sure I listen to the samples before I purchase another album by this group.

Zydeco punk rock? Heck yes!As a fan of a multitude of genres and bands, from Queen and the Beatles to The Shins and Flogging Molly, I love this band. Any fan of punk rock could easily take a liking to this album.
