The Drinker & The Scholar capture lightning in a bottle with ‘A Little More Fire’

‘A Little More Fire’, the new track by The Drinker & The Scholar, hits that rare, exhilarating sweet spot in Irish punk; emotionally raw, fiercely alive, and brimming with identity. It’s a call to arms (and to pints), urging one more swing at life’s chaos before the lights go out.

Rooted in the gritty storytelling tradition of Celtic punk but infused with a fresh, urgent edge, the song feels both nostalgic and electrifyingly new. If the band’s execution continues to match the ferocity of their themes, The Drinker & The Scholar have all the makings of a cult favourite, especially for listeners craving a post-2000s Celtic punk revival with real grit and heart.
