CD Reviews

Great Album!

Jeremiah Johnson | Fiddletown, CA USA | 05/04/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I wasn't sure if I want to get this album after some reviews mentioned that their sound was Irish folk punk rock with a bit of ska. I do listen to ska but blending the three different genres might have over done it. I was wrong. It worked out very well. The other reviews are correct on another thing, if you think this band is anything like Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly, these guys are not even close. I did find a few other bands that are similiar. Look for the McGuillicuddys or The Skels. Very similiar in sound. Anyhow, can't wait for the next release."

REAL Irish roots music

Colin Kenny | ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ United States | 03/11/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you like real Irish roots music ie. The Pogues, The Dubliners, buy this CD. If you're more into over produced pseudo punk bands like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphy's, then don't. Blood or Whiskey are very good songwriters who mainly play trad Irish instruments. This is great drinking music, and is perfect for arond St. Paddy's Day and all year long."

Outstanding

Doug Traversa | Tullahoma, TN | 02/28/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a lot more melodious than something by Dropkick Murphies. I'm not Irish, so I can't identify the instruments, but they are surely Irish. No overwhelming electric guitars here. The two lead singers have deep, gravelly voices, but they sound good. "Frank" is funny but scary because you can see it happening. The tune is my personal favorite, but there's not a bad sound in the bunch. As one who likes a wide variety of music, including Celtic, Ska, Baroque, New Age, and Gregorian Chants, I now add . . . what, Irish Punk? Who knows. Try it, you like it. And if you go to their website, you can hear the tunes."
