Flogging Molly is my favorite, though I have been sampling some of the others on Youtube and seeing what else is out there.

Saw The Pogues this past Saturday show was excellent despite some of the mongs in the audience.

This thread needs some Mahones

This thread needs some My Lovely Horse.

This thread needs some music that isn't terrible.

Irish punk music is a smidgen above Christian ska in terms of music genres.

A friend got me into Flogging Molly. I feel like I need to dance around like a maniac with a beer in my hand when listening to it.

Eat a bag o'dicks.

Join your friend up there for the buffet.

Wow, The Mahones sure aren't the band I remember them being 13 years ago.

Mong.
Haven't heard that word in a VERY long time.
Thank you so much for that.

/Used to use it as a verb.

I'm considering starting an Irish punk band, if I could only think of a good name...

Dropkick Murphys? I'll take a big f**kin' pass.

I'd rather listen to smooth jazz.

Just incorporate something that revolves around consuming alcohol in large amounts, and slap a shamrock on your band logo.

"They're technically Scotch-Canadian, not Irish at all-but after a few rounds of whiskey, who can tell the difference?"

A: My Scottish grandfather, who explained to me when I was about 8 why he would strongly prefer that I not wear green on St. Patrick's Day (orange would be okay, as he had Irish protestants in his ancestry).

The Desperate For Regional Airplay?

I like Pogues but most 'Irish Punk' bands annoy me. They're incredibly cliche. OI I LIKE TO DRINK AND FIGHT!

I went to a Pogues concert in Chicago and The Tossers were handing out free samples of their music. I took one listen to about :30 of the first song and threw the CD away. Terrible.

Easy, Dropkick Murphys like shiatty baseball teams.

The Icelander: WTF? No New Dubliners? FAIL.

I bought a New Dubliners cd once.
It sounded exactly like Dave Matthews, so I threw it away.

I'm very plesed with the inclusion of Flatfoot 56. I met the guys several times, and they're real down to earth.

Scotland was just as Catholic as Ireland until the English forced them out. And too, the Scottish Protestants got along just fine with the Irish Catholics in Ireland. It wasn't until the discriminatory English laws and governance that they were driven apart.
I don't know your grandfather's reasoning, but supporting the orange because your Scottish wouldn't be accurate.

OldScotch: I don't know your grandfather's reasoning, but supporting the orange because your Scottish wouldn't be accurate.

Rulers using religious "differences" to incite hatred among the commoners to their own ends: oldest trick in the book.

/Didn't know about the "orange" thing until the Simpsons' "St. Patty's Day" episode

The best way to enjoy celtic punk is with a beer in each hand, in a moshpit, punching skinheads in the face.
/Dropkick '07
//Flogging '08

Why bother telling them apart? They all sound alike.

What (Northern) Irish punks might sound like (new window)

Real McKenzies were at the only punk show I've ever been to, at the Whiskey Jar no less.

They were crazy, and a lot of fun. Easily the best band of the bunch, which were: The Mad Caddies (the band the people I was with wanted to see), Rise Against (second best in my opinion, have to support the hometown band!), and The Real McKenzies.

The only Irish punk band that matters.

brap: This thread needs some My Lovely Horse.

This made me LOL.

Just want to mention the Saw Doctors, even though they're not very punk.

(Although they did play a bit of "Blitzkrieg Bop" in the middle of "Hay Wrap" during their show in NYC this past Friday night.)

I saw the Murphys in Wisconsin a few weeks ago and Flogging Molly this past weekend. Both were great shows.

I liked the 'Do or Die' album. Havent heard anything else by DM, anything by FM, or any of those other bands. I likes me some punk and am 100% Irish so I guess Ill check them out.

WTF a metromix link greenlit?

/lame

bbernardini: Just want to mention the Saw Doctors, even though they're not very punk.

I'd like to see the Saw Doctors. They're a good band.

I listened to that band you like but it sucked so I defecated on the CD and threw it out.

Hey, I'm glad this thread reminded me. Molly is Flogging my town with a double header this weekend and I must acquire tickets soon.
'Twill be awesome.

Leaving work right now and heading to the Flogging Molly show in Chicago. Friggin sweet.

Why are the Street Dogs on this list? As far as I know the only connection they have with "celtic punk" is that their lead singer was once in the Dropkick Murphys. Although I haven't listened to their most recent cd, so I guess that could have some kind of celtic influence.

Thanks for finding the music for my party tomorrow night

No Greenland Whalefishers and no Fiddler's Green...

Stupid list

I see what you did there.

/TRU PUNX!

LOVE FM !!
looks like a few more I need to investigate.

Haven't seen Flogging Molly live in about two years. I guess I'm overdue. (Next time will be #7)

I guess they're doing well enough financially, seeing as they can afford to buy homes (in some cases, multiple) now.

Exactly my point, Ireland is a classic divide and (almost) conquer scenario. Allowing ourselves play into their schemes just gives them more power and control.

Awwww.... no love for The Killigans?

/Loves me some Flogging Molly, Dropkicks, Tossers...

Came here to give props to Flatfoot 56 and was beaten to the punch, awesome!!! They've not quite hit the big time yet but their day will come!!

Did someone try to dis Christian Ska too? OC Supertones one of the greatest bands of the last 20 years as well IMO.
