Biography

The Scarlet joined to the growing folk rock wave of Hungary in 2013, and with their irish and pirate punk music with a wee bit of metal, shortly made them one of the scene's significant bands. Having gigs on the Irish Stage of the Sziget Festival (HU) multiple times was followed by their first EP 'Midnight Avenue' (2015) and their first massive tour in Hungary. During the years the style of the band have became a bit more aggressive and heavier than similar bands, which led to the release of their first LP 'Hardfolk Shanties' in January 2017. After touring in Europe, two singles "Start With A Shot' and "Sail Eternally" were dropped by the band. Finally in 2022, the second LP 'Freedom Call' is getting released on 29/04. “'Hardfolk Shanties' is an amazing pirate album. From the very first track 'Heroes of Our Future', The Scarlet deliver a pirate metal CD based on electric guitar and angrier vocals. As usual Julia’s flute and Dominika’s fiddle are spotless. (...) The Scarlet are evolving as a band and their latest offering is the proof that they are following the right path. A rad album." - Kinksmarkham, Celtic Folk Punk Blog
