My favorite song is The Green Fields of France and Cpt. Kelly's Kitchen.

Anyone a fan of this awesome irish-american celtic punk band?

I can't get enough of them, every time they drop an album it just seems to surpass the one that came before it. Just when you think they can't get any better, they do! :p

sorry for the typos in this first vid but the guy who wrote the lyrics for this sucks lol

Awesome band.I haven't heard their newest album but have always enjoyed their music.Their later albums have more of a Irish feel than punk but it's still good nonetheless.

I like Dropkick Murphys.

Boys On The Docks is my favorite song!

Personally don't like them

I live in Ireland, and like most people i know find the US citizen obsession with being Irish rather comical, especially when it seeps into music

To us you are Irish if you were born in Ireland, not because your great great grandfather married a dubliner or whatever

No offence but thats how it is

They have ONE good song IMO, the one they used in the departed.

Listen through about two of their albums after that I think, it was....grating. Might've missed some good songs but didn't seem worth the effort.

They have a couple more good songs, but I find that I can't listen to their albums in their entirety, just the few songs that I like. Flogging Molly is the same way, as with The Real McKenzies. There's just something about that kind of music that makes it good in short doses, but horrible for longer listens, unless it's like a mix or something.

They're a novelty act. As you've said Pete, they're quite fun in small doses but listening to them for a prolonged period causes the novelty to wear thin.
I can't really take them seriously, it's a drunken Irish man wailing ridiculous lyrics about losing his leg into a microphone accompanied by some fiddler players and guitarists. A track or two of theirs on shuffle is good, a whole album not so much.
