    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]

    Biography[edit]

    The band was started in 2008 by Björn Malmros and Peter Mollwing, who gathered several other musicians with the idea of playing pirate folk music.[7]

    Today, the band amounts to nearly 30 members.

    Their first self-produced album, Songs and Curses, was released on 19 September 2012 for the International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

    After playing several shows in their home country, they started touring Germany in 2014.

    In the same year, on 12 September, they released The Legend of Libertalia[8] their second studio album, on Totentanz Records.

    In 2015 and 2016 they toured mainly in Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.

    They announced their third album in 2016,[9] but the release was delayed until 30 June 2017. First Night Back in Port finally came out when they signed a deal with Napalm Records.[10][11]

    In 2020 Ye Banished Privateers released their fourth album Hostis Humani Generis.[12] The name of the album, Latin for "enemy of mankind"[13] is a term that was often used to describe maritime pirates; outsiders of society and a threat to the status quo.[14] Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the band was not able to release the album as planned and live-streamed a concert instead, an online event to which 12000 fans participated.[15]

    They released a Christmas special album titled A Pirate Stole My Christmas on December 3, 2021 which featured classics of the festival with a new pirate spin to them.
