Ye Banished Privateers are a folk rock[2] band from Umeå, Sweden.[3]
Their songs are inspired by traditional Irish and Scandinavian folk music and their lyrics are mostly based on sea and piracy history from the 17th and 18th century.[4][5] During their shows they portray a crew of pirates, wearing historical clothes and acting while playing, making the show itself a mix of music and theatre.[6]
