i need the names of bands that play really good irish punk, rock, or just really good irish drinkin songs.. dont mention u2. Ive heard a couple and always thought that the singers with the thick irish accents were hysterical when i was drinkin with me mates.. have u seen the movie intermission, i think its colin farrel who actualy sings that "i fought the law" song, its great.

Hmm, "The Mahones" come to mind right away, there's also the "Dropkick Murphys."

Probably more, but those are the first two to pop into my head.

Redlemon · 11-12-2004, 12:00 PM

How about Black 47? They've got the traditional Irish instruments, plus horns, plus rock. There's drinking in many of the songs, but I wouldn't say any is specifically about drinking.

Dropkick Murphys
The Pogues (might be spelling that wrong)

Hair of the Dog! They're a local Albany, NY band, but if you look hard enough, you might be able to find copies of their songs *ahem* They're fantastic. "Barley Moe" is specifically designed to drink an entire pint of Guinness during the song

If you'd like any info on them, let me know!

I'm sure you're already going after some Flogging Molly stuff.
And if you want to slow it down a bit, Arab Strap is a great scottish indie rock band.

Dropkick Murphys for suuuuuuuure!

jimk · 11-12-2004, 01:42 PM

do you know if they have a website? i'd google them, but with a name like theirs, it's bound to turn up loads of hits.

http://www.hair-of-the-dog.com/ (the intro page has a bit of music going on, just as a warning)

They have a few songs available for download, which I didn't notice before. I recommend "MTA" and "One Sunday Morning"

Arab Strap? Isn't thay way more of a shoegazin' band?

CinnamonGirl · 11-17-2004, 05:59 PM

The Electrics! They're sort of Christian/folky, but there are some GREAT drinking songs, like "Get to Heaven" and "The Whole Shebang."

Smimpinj · 11-18-2004, 08:04 PM

Flogging Molly is one of my favourite bands. They're such good Irish folk punk whatever combo you want. Anything from Swagger or Drunken Lullabies is awesome. For drinking songs definitely check out Salty Dog.

MacGuyver · 11-19-2004, 04:30 AM

Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, without a doubt.

TESSIE!

Wu Lung · 11-19-2004, 05:59 AM

Lesser known band called the Mudmen.

They're more Scottish (bagpipes) then Irish but very reminiscent of the Dropkick Murphys.

Hell, my fave is a song called Drink & Fight!

A shoegazin band? LOL, I've never heard that term before, but I can guess what you mean by it.

But yeah, most of their stuff puts you in kind of a depressed drinking alone kind of mood rather than a partying drinking mood.
