I saw and old episode of SNL a couple of months ago and since it was St. Patricks day they had an actually Irish Rock band called The Pogues. So I went a searching for their songs and was instantly a fan. Songs about drinking and life sucking just like good ol' rock. The only problem Is I can't find any more Irish rock bands. Anyone out there know of some?

although i never really liked that type of music (although i am a fan of bottle of smoke and the new york christmas one)...

shit i can't really think of any similar bands, but irish pub bands like the dubliners might be what your after.

There aren't many Irish rock bands that record and release stuff, but there's a load of local ones in my city. Search for 'The Dubliners'...

They're more punk, but how about the Dropkick Murphys?

they really kickass. barroom hero and finnegans wake are my favorite.

Sleater-Kinney(I think they are Irish) they are also riot-grrl/indie/punk, and are fucking sexy.

Anyone notice how it kind of sounds like German folk music, and at the same time as elements of Tejano?

Try Flogging Molly. i love em. My personal favs are Black Friday Rule and Devil's Dance Floor

First off Sleater Kinney is not an Irish band.

And yes, they are sexy.

O how I love Corin Tucker.

Second of all Flogging Molly kicks ass. But, whenever I mention them no one ever has any clue who I'm talking about.

Cheers,
