Step into the unfiltered story of the lives and minds of The Boatsmen on their fifth full-length album, Hard Livin’. The songs on the album tackle the everyday puzzle of life and the complex combination of being party-rock-and-good-times-all-the-time-masters and family men with ever-growing midlife crises.

Hard Livin’ is kitchen sink realism punkrock ‘n’ roll. Life is hard, but The Boatsmen are harder. Their philosophy is that there should be no rules when it comes to either beer drinking or songwriting. Sometimes, it’s fast and hard, sometimes a bit slower and more gentle, but always with full focus on their own satisfaction.

The band have released several 7″ singles and now five full-length albums: The Boatsmen (Zorch Productions 2013), City Sailors (No Balls Records 2015), Thirst Album (Ghost Highway Recordings 2017), Versus The Boatsmen (Ghost Highway Recordings/Spaghetty Town Records 2021), Hard Livin’ (Ghost Highway Recordings/Spaghetty Town Records 2023).

All songs were written and recorded by The Boatsmen. Hard Livin’ is released by Ghost Highway Recordings in Europe and Spaghetty Town Records in the USA.
