About this album
Hell's Ditch is a strong late-period Pogues album that widens their folk-punk template with more melodic writing and a looser, sunlit palette. Released in 1990, it followed the band's run of acclaimed 1980s records and found Shane MacGowan and company balancing rough-edged Irish folk, rock urgency and more reflective storytelling. Songs such as The Sunnyside of the Street, Summer in Siam and Rain Street show the group stretching beyond pub singalongs into a more bittersweet, exploratory sound. Its reputation has grown as one of the band's most distinctive and musically adventurous releases.
