If Flogging Molly had a street punk edge to their sound, or the Dropkick Murphys incorporated more traditional Irish elements into their music, the result would be Blood Or Whiskey.

He was making a joke. Lighten up. 3. Irish people dont have mohawks, they have beer guts. I miss Superdude. OK, here is the thing, im irish, living in Dublin, and guess what... Blood and Whiskey and probably the only band of there type in this country. All the Irish-trad-punk music comes from Boston or New York, in my opinion these are the only original Irish Punk band. Yeah dude, here in upstate NY, Chymes whiskey is 8 bucks and change for a liter. I can't vouch for the taste, you really have to mix it with coke, but hey, it's 8 bucks, JD is 25 for the same amount of alcohol. Oh.. and by the way EXCELLENT album!! Not as good as their previous record (No Time To Explain) in my book, but still amazing!! this CD kicks arse! how can anyone complain that they use Irish music? They're from Ireland, dammit!! just because so many American bands think they can cash in on Ireland's musical culture, doesn't mean BOW shouldn't be able to express their own roots! oh, and for the moron that said the Irish have beer guts, way to show your intelligence retard. have you ever been to Ireland or met an Irishman? Didn't think so! This band is suprisingly better than Flogging Molly or DMK. I was skeptical when I got it, but after hearing their style, I realyl like theri CD. It is worth picking up. $8 a litre for whiskey?, that price is insane. to all the naysayers, check them out live. beat the piss out of DKM and Flogging molly. Fuck this shit. I wouldnt raise a pint to this joke. Ide fucking raise a fist with a pint in it to Against Me. True music. That was a good review but heres how I would have done it: anyone who likes pirates and anything funny should buy this In unrelated news, I opted today to not get whiskey, but Bacardi Gold instead. I like how every band with a mandolin these days is "jumping on the celtic bandwagon," even when they've been around for 10 years. Oh and these guys have one gimmick that most other Irish bands don't- they're from Ireland! This sounds more like the Pogues, musically, than all the other "Irish-punk" bands out right now. And I read somewhere that the title/album are critiques against bands who are jumping on that bandwagon (they've been a band for a really long time...maybe 10 years?). I hope I can pick this up soon. Why do you say they look like tools on the cover? This actually isn't as derivative as the reviewer made it sound. They're decent enough even though they do look like tools on the cover. I love whiskey but it makes me do stupid shit.... Yet i drink it all the time Balvenie 12 year double wood. That's what I'd recommend. OC I could seriously use some whiskey right now. And not Chymes, either. $8 a for a liter can only be stomached so many times. $$$$ another crappy band name released by a record label with a crappy label name...this irish shit is getting out of hand.. Celtic-influenced punk grows on trees these days. Punkcore released this? Not what I'd expect from them. |
