saw from some older threads that there are more than a few irish punk fans onboard. anyone ever hear of the ridiculously sublime Downs Family from san diego? as far as i know, they've only ever released one album, 1994's awesome beer is like a dog; it knows when you're scared...
the cd is out of print and fetching crazy money online.

below is a link to their myspace page where you can listen to four songs including the excellent mahooligan. no word of new recordings, but looks as though they still play out in the southern california area.
