DKM are irritating . I have a friend who listens to them, Reel Big Fish and Me First..., and nothing else. Far too many mental images of smoky pubs for my liking.

everyone seriously needs to go get the first 3 Pogues albums

Maximstark

you know what, I bought "Sing Loud, Sing Proud!" by DKM cause my friend advised it. I took a listen, got through the first 3 songs and I was suddenly bored out of my mind. But some gut feeling made me think they were ok, I don't know why, it just did, and for that feeling that made me like them just a bit, I give them some credit. 1 thumbs up... maybe "snaz" things up a bit and I will like them better. They were singing proud, but not so loud.

Listening to Finnegan's Wake right now!
I think you have to be in the right mood to really get into them..but then again being Scottish I really enjoy it...something a bit different!

If your SCOTTISH why don't you listen to an actual SCOTTISH band instead of a watered down AMERICAN band attempting to imitate an IRISH band.

SL, SP sucks ass. The Gang's All Here, Warrior's Code and Do Or Die is where it is at.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Why is it imitation, and not their own instincts?

Kevorkian Logic

i'm going to pretend like I remember what I was unnecessarily aggressive about and attempt to answer your question.

I assume I said imitation, because (I might be wrong here, mind you) but I'm pretty sure all the band members were born up north in the United States of America, and while there music definitely has Celtic roots and is influenced by Celtic music, I don't consider them to have the same authenticity as real Celtic band. It sounds more commercialized to me.


But in all honesty, I was probably just pissed off by him saying that his heritage makes him enjoy DM. And the idea that one can think the fact that your great-great grandparents were from Scottland has any influence on what music you will end up enjoying kinda baffles me. Those ideas of aceint ancestory influencing you so much I think is cause for lots of the racial and ethnic tension that causes so many problems today.
