The term "three sheets to the wind", meaning "staggering drunk", refers to a ship whose sheets have come loose, causing the sails to flap uncontrolled and the ship to meander at the mercy of the elements.
Press:
''This is four young guys from Pontefract performing Pogues-style numbers with
old punk energy and West Yorkshire style. Led by John Lenin, they're influenced by "women, alcohol and the
dole" and kick up a hell of a racket. Like their new CD, they're rough, but brilliant.''

Reviews of Future Relics: Three Sheets T' Wind, Take Me Up To Monto ''The Pogue-esque offering of 'Three
sheets t'wind's' 'Take me up to monto' certainly don't fall short of the
expectations of their truly genius band name.''
Melissa Greaves, The Rhubarb Bomb
''In between the other odd bits of acoustic weirdness, are Three Sheets t’wind who manage to sound like a drunk Pogues with dramatic, fantastical effect.''
Manchestermusic.co.uk
''If they've not been called it already, ought to be labelled the 'Pontefract Pogues'-With a set of songs combining self-composed observations on life altogether with more traditional material, they've been likened to such as The Dubliners, Flogging Molly and Thin Lizzy, though they don't always agree with such comparisons!''
