THE WELCH BOYS are a street punk band from Boston featuring members of SLAPSHOT and THE BLUE BLOODS. Raised and bred on the many great Boston punk and hardcore bands, THE WELCH BOYS emerge with a sound that is a perfect mix of punk rock, Oi!, and East Coast hardcore. They were formed in 2004 by guitarist and founding member of THE BLUE BLOODS T.J. Welch. Seven-year SLAPSHOT veteran Ed Lalli handles the vocals. THE WELCH BOYS write short, catchy, and powerful songs that emphasize sing-along choruses and aggressive guitar playing. They have a sound that is firmly rooted in the punk rock legacy of their hometown, yet unique enough to set themselves apart. Lyrically, they tackle a wide variety of subjects that convey the struggles of working class life all laced with an underlying core of hope and optimism. Bring Back The Fight is their third full-length album and second for Sailors Grave Records. The band has been bringing their bean town punk consistently to their loyal fans now for almost a decade.
