Irish folk rock group The Mary Wallopers has released a new single titled “Kit Kat Club” ahead of their upcoming third studio album, Paddywhackery. The album is scheduled to arrive on September 18 through BC Records.
The band consists of members Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, Ken Mooney, Róisín Barrett, Finnian O Connor, and Catriona Gribben. Along with the single release, the group announced a North American headline tour taking place in spring 2027.
The tour kicks off on March 4 in Philadelphia and includes performances in New York City before concluding in Los Angeles on April 2. Ticket sales for the North American dates open on Friday, August 14, through the band’s official website.
Paddywhackery was produced by James Skelly of The Coral and recorded over two weeks in Liverpool with engineer Chris Taylor. The album follows the band’s 2023 project, Irish Rock’n’Roll, and features additional tracks including “Crowns Of England” and “Landlord’s Demise.”
“It’s mainly about the fact that people would call us ‘paddywhackery’ because we are too Irish or whatever, but it’s all very fucking hip to be Irish the last couple of years,” said Andrew and Charles Hendy regarding the album title. “If all you do is serious songs, it sterilises everything. If people are going to call us paddywhackery anyway, we might as well just call the album Paddywhackery.”
