Flogging Molly

I've been listening to Flogging Molly a lot recently and I was wondering if there was anyone else on NS who likes them.

For those of you who don't know Flogging Molly, they are a band from California who combine punk and traditional Irish influence for a really high energy sound.

Here is one of my favorite songs by them:

yep. love em. they've always been one of my favourite bands since I heard Drunken Lullabies in an Aaron McGovern segment. They also put on an unreal show. such a fun time.

if you like them, you should also check out bands like:

The Dreadnoughts:

Dropkick Murphies (obviously):

The Mahones:

The Tossers:

etc etc.

then check out where they all get their influence from.

this ugly fuck here:

and listen to some of The Pogues:

then go further back and listen to some of the Dubliners"

and realize they're magical works all come back to what's being played today:

then get a hard on listening to Sinaed O'Connor

also, there are a lot of Gaelic punk bands too that might tickle your fancy.

The Real McKenzies, for example:

have fun!
