94年にノルウェーで結成。まるでShane（THE POGUES）の生き写しとまで言わ れたその声と、本当はTHE POGUESが変名で出している新曲ではないのかとまで 疑われた楽曲のクオリティの高さで、パンク、ラスティック界隈で話題となり、ここ日本でも伝説のPUNK誌「DOLL」で多く取り上げられ話題に。その後、日本限定発売された編集盤『UNRELEASED IN THE EAST』(ギャラクティック/オア・グローリー)のリリースを皮切りに、2度に渡り日本各地のアイリッシュ・パンク系バンドを迎えての来日公演、新譜『DOWN & OUT』の日本盤リリース、1st、2ndアルバムを日本限定ジャケットにて再発等々、現在のアイリッシュ・パンク・ブームの火付け役ともなったバンドの一つ。GREENLAND WHALE FISHERS史上最もポップでキャッチー、そしてパンキッシュな勢い抜群の新作『SONGS FROM THE BUNKER』をリリースと共にカムバック!輸入盤のジャケットを一新し、ボーナス・トラック&映像も追加収録され、デジパック仕様となったデラックス盤をお楽しみください。
今日のこのアイリッシュ・パンク・シーンを作ったバンドの一つと言っても過言ではないバンド。それがこのGREENLAND WHALEFISHERSです。
90年代後半～2000年代初頭。アメリカでDROPKICK MURPHYSがHELLCATと契約し、FLOGGING MOLLYがSIDE ONE DUMMYと契約し、ヨーロッパではFIDDLER’S GREENがメジャーと契約していた頃、ノルウェーで結成された彼らGREENLAND WHALEFISHERS(以下：GWF)がUKの一大パンク・フェス「HOLIDAY IN THE SUN」に出演。そして世界中のパンク好きに知らしめた踊れるパンク。それがこのジャンルの誕生だと思います。
当時誰しもが感じたであろう先駆者、THE POGUESの存在。その音楽性、祭り性を引き継いだ彼ら、ポーグス・チルドレンの第一世代による、新たなフィエスタ！それはこのGWFの新譜発売と共に、また大きな波となって押し寄せるでしょう。
