Irish Punk music. Name some bands.
 

I want to listen to some music like in "The Departed" That Irish Rock type shit. It's good a good beat with bag pipes.

Shoot me some good band names so I can go buy me some.

Thanks

there can be only one: The Pogues :thumbsup

btw - bagpipes are scottish, fiddles are irish

I think The Dropkick Murphy's are the on that film soundtrack, uh??

The song you're talking about is The Dropkick Murphys. They have some good stuff. Flogging Molly is some great drinking music too.

You may want to check Flogging Molly also...

Flogging Molly is the shit :thumbsup

And The Real McKenzies: http://www.realmckenzies.com/ !!

Everyone says its murphys but is not naming the song. the name of the song is "shipping up to boston" and Flogging Molly kicks ass. I see them everytime they come to AZ.

The Mahones
Dropkick Murphys
Flogging Molly
The Pogues
Blood Or Whiskey
The Bloody Irish Boys
Great Big Sea
The Tossers



Just to name a few :)

Pogues and Therapy

Ahhh.. yes. Cool. Any good heavy bag pipe music?

Thanks for the links so far. This music is definitely a nice change of pace. I get tired of listening to American Pop shit all the time. And because of the content I edit, I get more than my fair share of hip hop.

Dropkick Murphy's one of my Favorite Oi! Band!

We'll Drink n Drink n Drink n Drink n Drink n Drink n Fight!

Dropkicks kickass

was guna mention the bagpipe thing, but also that wasnt really 'irish rock' & everyone mentioned the DM's. I didnt see anyone give the name.. dont fully remember it right now but its 'something.. boston' but with a bit of searchin if you like that stuff you can find.. theres a few, DMs, Pogues etc..
if you like the genre.. (its not exact) but go to Pandora.com & put them in, you'll get similar type music.. I have a DM's channel on mine.. good tunes from diff groups too...

Also throw in Neck, Mutiny, The Porters, Shane MacGowan and the Popes (post-Pogues era), Sharky Doyles (the Chicago equivalent of the Dropkick Murphys), The Killigans.

Possibly the greatest Irish punk rock band of all time is Stiff Little Fingers. But other than the voice and the lyrical content, there's not much Irish about it. Just raw punk rock.


And a couple of good scottish/scottish influenced bands are Real McKenzies and Flatfoot 56.

You can find a decent list of Irish/Celtic bands on the Shite'n'Onions website.

And saying that bagpipes are somehow exclusively scottish is ignorant. Bagpipes have been used in Ireland for hundreds of years and they are considered a part of traditional irish music. Every bit as much as a fiddle or tin whistle or uilleann pipe. Scotland doesn't have a monopoly on bagpipes, you know.

And let's not even get into the topic of where the Scottish people originated from or the fact that Ireland used to be known as Scotia, the Latin word for Ireland. And the area that would become Scotland only became so because Scots (from Scotia) migrated there.

are you looking over my shoulder reading my list I was going to post?

Cant bring up (Northern) Irish punk bands with out mentioning Stiff Little Fingers and The Undertones

You might want to also consider some american punk bands. Here's a link to my personal punk rock hero, matty luv: www.mattyluv.com

Not just Scottish, Northern Spain love their pipes aswell.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

The Pogues are actually English, but they do (or did) rock...

I haven't lived in Ireland for a couple of years now, but we did have some great bands like The Stunning, The Saw Doctors and some that I've forgotten.

Northern Ireland had Stiff Little Fingers, Therapy, Ghost of an American Airman, etc...

Try the Hot Press magazine site, they should have some info and what bands are around at the moment.

or maybe paddyrock.com for American/Irish rock

I don't mean to give you a lesson in Irish culture MaDalton.... but the Irish version of the bagpipes are called Uilleann pipes.

The fiddle is not unique to Ireland (it's just a more folkier version of the violin).

hey - that's fine - i can never know enough :thumbsup

thanks :)

for sure I don't know any Irish punk band.

My brother in law is in an american punk band http://the28s.com I got american punk. :)

cool, thanks everyone. I put in my request form today. Hopefully my supplier can get some of these bands.

For sure - Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly ;o) Love them both!!!

I like Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly

I'm not sure what makes the Pogues English? MacGowan of Irish parents, though born in England, and their music is mostly about the Irish/Ireland.

anyhow..saw them at the Wiltern in L.A. a few months ago WITH MacGowan. The show was amazing although I can't figure how he's still breathing.

Flogging Molly is always great drinking music.

i just saw flogging molly at the house of blues last week.

definitely check them out.

Great Big Sea is Canadian and they aren't even close to punk.

Dude... you of all people knew I grew up in Dublin. All you gotta do is ask.

I'm starting to get offended that you never ask me anything.

I have been collecting so much info over the years for moments such as this, that if I don't use some of it, I'm going to feel like my life has been a waste.

I know but I thought you were just going to send me The Eagles.

DUDE!! If this isn't me and you to a "T" I don't know what is.
