Drink Hunters was created in 2008 in Barcelona. Aaron (lead vocals and bassist) and Pau (drums and vocals) chose the Celtic punk way after some music projects. They mentioned it to Raja (guitarist and  vocals), and then they looked for musicians who play traditional instruments to complete their punk rock mixed with Irish folk influences. They called Rosa (accordion) and Nando (fiddle) for that. In January 2010, they recorded their first EP, a self-produced demo. During that same year, they signed with their first label Discos Rayados. They also appeared on "Whiskey Devils a tribute to The Mahones" covering The Mahones' song called "Take no Prisoners". In 2011, "With my Crew" (first album of the band) appeared on the Celtic punk scene. It was well received by the public and by critics. This  was soon followed by many concerts around Catalonia and Spain. In March 2012, they took part in the Paddy Rock compilation ("Paddy Rock Vol. 4"), providing the song "With my Crew" and sharing this appearance with other bands as The Rumjacks and The Mahones. In September 2014, they released their newest album called "Lurking Behind the Woods", which was later shown on their first European tour crossing France, Italy, Germany, Slovakia and Czech Republic.
