 Celtic Punk without politics Dec 11, 2008
If you like Celtic punk, complete with bagpipes and mandolin, here ya go! This is quality stuff, and their live show, if you're so lucky, is always great. The guys are actually conservatives, so if you pick up on any politics or anything in the music, it's pretty conservative... so if that's a problem, sorry. But the music is quality, and they don't push much of any agenda on you.
Surprise, surprise... Oct 06, 2008
I bought this album after hearing one of their songs on the internet, what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be. I'm from Boston, so the Dropkick Murphy's are our set bar. These guys hit the mark. Love the album, start to finish.

Quality God Rock Thumping Music!!! Mar 06, 2008
I stumbled onto these guys by doing a Google search for some quality celtic christian punk/rock for my nieces boyfriend and by doing so found MY new favorite band of the year! I LOVE the rock thumping drums and echoing versitility of the bagpipes, mandolin, guitar, and the like. The lyrics and vocals are equally subperb. And I love how some songs on the album use spoken vocals with an "old record flare" then follow it up with a pounding message and foot stomping blare.
Personal favorites are track 6. "Hoity Toity"...great lyrics, makes you want to stomp your feet, with fist in the air and shout 'Wake Up!' Track 14. "Same Ol' Story" for its pure heartfelt lyrics with a "pub sing along" feel. And the title track is also A+ without a doubt. I can't remember the last time I listened to an album so well compiled of songs and quality of sound. You boys ROCK!!!
Yes, they are that good... Nov 26, 2007
High energy, punk your face off music, with bagpipes. This CD is great but what you really need to do is see them live. Their shows will blow your mind. I've never had more fun at a concert. Good writing and musicianship all tied together with some old school punk in your faceness. Fantastic.
Lyrically and musically amazing! Oct 22, 2007
This is the album and band I've been waiting for. It has all the musicality and power of early Pogues, Shane MacGowan and the Popes or Flogging Molly. But even better, the music comes with a strong-- yet not preachy-- Christian message! Finally some Celtic punk that isn't focussed on getting drunk and kicking someone's teeth in, or "the troubles". I had the chance to see the band play live, and if you get the chance, I highly recommend you do likewise.
