I have both the Skels albums, great stuff. Can't wait for the new Dropkick Murphys album in June and the new McKenzies as well.

I'm also a fan of Oi! as well, which not being completely Celtic, but generally British, I figured it might count.

The Business rock!

hiya jack,
on the subject of OI. there is a really great cd called 'the worldwide tribute to OI' its bands from today doing all the great old school oi tunes. it is a great cover album!!

If you like Oi!, check out "The Main Street Saints". They do a GREAT cover of "My Brother Sylvest" and are a generally FANTASTIC OI! Band.

In the celtic punk category, you may want to check out the Tossers, the Skels and Mahones. ***** n onions has a Celtic Punk comp CD for sale that has a LOT of great bands on it. definitely worth looking into.

Check out DKM's video for a song on the new album (not sure if the video is out to the public yet)... Scruffy's wearing one of the kilts I made him! He said that the new album is much better than Blackout and has a lot more pipes in it. It should be great!

I saw Flogging Molly recently on the Guinness Green 17 (or whatever it was called) tour, and they were great. Saw DKM years ago, and will see them again at this years Warped Tour in August. Favorite band ever.

I said it before in another thread, and I will again here, a Celtic flavored band to check out is Black 47. They're a band of Irish ex-pats and Americans from NY. They're music is a capsulated lesson on Irish Republicanism and nationalism, which turns some people off (very anti-British) but a great band, and fun live.

Back to OI!, there's a band called the Lower Class Brats that are pretty cool. Saw them open for the Casualties. They have a Clockwork Orange theme to the band! The Oppressed, my favorite English Oi band, are making new music according to their website. They will NOT be touring America, cuz Immigration won't let them in (criminal records) but they might be touring Canada.
