Man the Lifeboats

Man The Lifeboats are one of the UK’s most riotously alive alt‑folk-punk bands — the kind that sound like they’re playing the last gig before the world ends. They’ve carved out a space where shanty‑punk energy, big‑hearted storytelling, and festival‑tent chaos all collide.​Known for raucous, upbeat folk, big choruses, stomping rhythms, and lyrics that feel like they’ve been scribbled on the back of a pub coaster at 2am, think The Pogues in overdrive, The Levellers, or The Waterboys, Get the vibe? Soul of Albion — their 2022 album that hit #27 in the official folk charts
