TPOE 111: The Redneck Manifesto

The Redneck Manifesto are celebrating their 20th anniversary by playing a show at Vicar Street on Friday, November 30, supported by David Kitt's New Jackson and the Dublin Guitar Quartet. On the same day they also release their fifth album, The How. It's nine tracks long and it's so great. I talked to guitarists Niall Byrne and Matthew Bolger about what it's been like with the latter and Richie Egan - one third of the band - living in Sweden and how they make TRM work. We also discuss touring, the early years, recording the new album, how a Rednecks song comes together, and lots more.
