Ultimate folk punk band!

Let's get it!

ShamRocks are the founding fathers of Ukraine’s celtic punk movement and the originators of "Stout Rock" – a signature blend of Irish, Scottish, Breton, Finnish and other types of folk music with a variety of rock and metal styles. The five-man crew has been rocking the country and its neighbors since 2009, including as opening acts for internationally recognized bands.

Our albums:

Captain’s Log

ShamRocks’ first album, "Captain’s Log", is a collection of the best tunes over the 7-year period, from the first demo ever recorded to the latest studio creations. This is the quintessential introduction to ShamRocks as well as the history of Ukraine’s celtic punk scene as a whole. All tracks have been mixed and re-mastered through analog tape to create that immersive "crowded pub" feel.

Ye Olde Chariot

“Ye Olde Chariot” sets out to show just how much musical diversity ShamRocks can muster. By embracing our differences, we tap into our creative side and dial it up to eleven - to entertain, and to encourage others to experiment. This EP is our way of saying, whatever’s happening in your life, you can always take a moment to relax and have fun!
