style
The band calls their style "pirate rock". Instead of the bagpipes common in medieval rock , the violin and accordion play an important role here. Other instruments used are guitar, bass and drums. The band writes all of their songs themselves, the lyrics deal with pirate topics like pirate trips and shore leave.
