I've had enough of this "paddy punk" crap that seems to be getting more popular by the years. Is it nessasary for everyone who is into punk and
happens to have an ounce of Irish in them to start up a celtic-punk band? Could we get a little more original? I don't want flutes or bagpipes in my
music. I dont need to hear another rendition of an old Irish jig. I dont give a damn if your great great grandparents suffered from the potato famine.
I just want this fad to die out and never surface again. Does anyone else feel the same?upyerbum - 10-15-2007 at 11:39 AM
First, yes, I feel the same. Second, Irish music is rebel music, much like old Jamaican ska, and will always be part of the scene, for better or
worse. Personally, I'll listen to the old stuff, rather than someone's version of it. That version of Fields of Athenry off of Blackout does kick ass
though.DeathByForce - 10-15-2007 at 02:38 PM
I don't find it to be as big as it was. I find it's actually dying off a lot.Discipline - 10-15-2007 at 08:37 PM
I like a lot of the stuff out there like DKM, Flogging Molly, Tossers, etc., but it has gotten a bit too popular and too many bands are trying to jump
on that bandwagon.morgan - 10-15-2007 at 10:58 PM
The ones Discipline mentioned and Blood or Whiskey ar the only bands doing this that I'm familiar with.JawnDiablo - 10-16-2007 at 11:59 AM
Saw the Tossers a few weeks ago in Philly.
They were tight.bombidol - 11-25-2007 at 01:11 PM
Blood or whiskey are the ONLY ones doing it right as they are from Ireland.upyerbum - 11-26-2007 at 10:25 AM
I'm pretty sure the only Gaelic college in the world is in Cape Breton, and I had a beer last weekend with Tommy Makem's nephew, so it would appear
all the "REAL" Irishmen moved here. bombidol - 11-26-2007 at 12:46 PM

They aren't Irish, but I'm adding the Real McKenzies to list of bands in this genre that kick major ass. Great albums, great live show, and they
pre-date DKM, Tossers, Flogging Molly, etc.
