Greenland Whalefishers

The inception of Norway’s Greenland Whalefishers goes back to 1993 when the Pogues were still unceremoniously plugging along and before the influx of middle-’90s Pogues wannabe groups. Created by vocalist and songwriter Arvid Grov and multi-instrumentalist Gunnar Grov, the Greenland Whalefishers had been became a member of by empathetic Norwegian music artists who distributed Grov’s enthusiasm for initial music infused with traditional Irish devices. While several members remaining the band within their early years, the group continued to be relatively steady and could actually release their 1st solitary, Mary B. Great, in 1994. They adopted that record using their debut record in 1996, The Mainstreet Sword. With an inescapable resemblance with their mentors the Pogues, the Greenland Whalefishers immediately set up themselves (at least within their homeland) as the top post-Pogues influenced music group. Arvid Grov’s tone of voice was a Shane MacGowan audio as well, although he was somewhat more articulate despite his highlight. They returned towards the documenting studio room in 1998 using the purpose of releasing a fresh record. Instead, because of unexpected setbacks and hurdles, that they had just four new paths which were released as the EP T. Bell’s Blues. It wasn’t until 2001 how the music group released their second record, Loboville, that was somewhat preceded with the EP “Johnny Lee Roth.”
