The Dreadnoughts are trying to start a revolution, and **_Polka Pit_** is the soundtrack.
Polkas, tarantellas, sea shanties and protest songs are mixed with gut-crunching
street punk, and it sounds like the end of the world… and the beginning.

The Dreadnoughts, long hailed as the rowdiest polka-punk outfit on the planet, return
with their eighth full-length album, **_Polka Pit_**, dropping **Friday, September
19** on **Punkerton Records**.

Following a string of raucous singles including **“Tarantella Bang Boom”**, **“Sierra”**
and **“Polka Pit,” **the band’s latest LP is a riotous blend of folk fury, blistering
punk, and protest anthems twisted through a cider-soaked lens. _“Polka Pit is a 
tribute to punk rock’s magic and polka’s power,” _says vocalist/accordionist **Nick
Smyth.**
