Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen are an exuberant German musical group, renowned for their pirate-themed performances and songs that sweep fans away on high-seas adventures. Known for their unique blend of Pirate Metal, Pirate Folk, and elements of Rock, the band has created a niche for themselves, becoming a mainstay in the ever-growing Pirate music subculture. Formed in Osnabrück, Germany, the band's name translates to "Mr. Hurley & The Powder Monkeys," a playful nod to the historical figures who worked on warships, handling gunpowder.

The band has made waves not just for their maritime attire and rollicking stage presence, but also for their storytelling through music, bringing tales of piracy to life with an energetic and rambunctious sound. Among their recent releases are songs like "Leuchtturm (Captain's Edition)" and "Leuchtturm op Kölsch" which showcase their versatility in dialect and style while maintaining their signature pirate ambiance. Tracks such as "Shanghaied In Portsmouth" and "Irish Rover" offer a lively, folk-infused soundscape, transporting listeners to the bygone times of oceanic voyages and tavern singalongs. Their cover of the traditional whaling ballad "The Wellerman" fits seamlessly into their collection, highlighting the timeless nature of seafaring songs and stories, reinterpreted through Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen's distinct sound. With each album and song, they have solidified their reputation as the go-to band for fans longing to hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail on an auditory treasure hunt.
