Even if it doesn’t seem like it at first glance, Overdressed is more relevant than ever. Especially in this day and age, we are once again realizing that freedom cannot be taken for granted. Overdressed embodies the freedom to be anything you want – even if you are a pirate. And so TORTUGA parody various genres and clichés with rocking guitars and catchy melodies in their latest work from the perspective of a pirate and encourage you to sing along with their amusing lyrics. In Overdressed, pirates get into the craziest situations, some of which may be familiar to you. Pure slapstick! The sound of the album is characterized by laid-back rhythms, a groovy bass foundation and driving drums. English lyrics collide with melodic harmonies and a jokey pirate flair – lively, light-footed and, above all, captivating. Frontwoman Captain Mary Read moves appropriately between soft and rough, often polyphonic cleans, which emphasize the pirate jokes.

Lost In Reality

YES, WE ARE PIRATES!

TORTUGA originate from the Saaribbean (an island state in Saarland / Germany) and play Heavy‘N‘Roll. TORTUGA doesn't sound like a lot of their fellow pirates from the music scene. The fact that pirate bride Captain Mary Read has taken the helm makes their music unique. The listener may expect clear female vocals and classic, catchy heavy metal, thickened with a good dose of 80s rock and a touch of folk. That is why TORTUGA also call themselves SaarRockPirates.

With “Pirate‘s Bride” (2015), the guns of the TORTUGA frigate are aimed at classic piracy, but it doesn’t stop there. „Yes, we are pirates!“, anyhow whether spooky “When The Shit Hits The Fan” (2018), drawn “Leinen los” (2019) or being flying buccaneers “Flying Dutchman” (2021), the SaarRockPirates put their tricorn on top wherever they please.

TORTUGA's latest work "Overdressed" will be released on May 31st 20204. Even if it doesn’t seem like it at first glance, "Overdressed" is more relevant than ever. Especially in this day and age, we are once again realizing that freedom cannot be taken for granted. Overdressed embodies the freedom to be anything you want – even if you are a pirate.

WHATEVER WE TOUCH BECOMES PIRATE!
