On 'Reprobates', their third full-length album, Blackbeard's Tea Party have mined history books and the folk canon for stories of wicked and nefarious characters. Be they murderous pirates, blood-thirsty executioners or rebellious slave-traders, each has in common a dubious morality. Musically, 'Reprobates' follows the band's eclectic recipe of gutsy folk rock with elements of funk, dance and classic rock bringing a contemporary edge to traditional source material. Live, Blackbeard's Tea Party have earned a considerable reputation for pairing a frenetic energy with accomplished musicianship, and 'Reprobates' captures this dexterous party sound.
