this sample isn't really what I would consider "cacophonous".. merely annoying.. really.. what makes them truly grating to my ears.. is their vocalist..
Well, even though Molly's the only one I've seen live and they have some great songs ("Devil's Dance Floor" and "Drunken Lullabys" are personal favorites), I still prefer the Murphys overall.
BTW if you want local Irish rock, try The Blaggards. Great music and the lead singer, Patrick Devlin, is a really nice guy despite looking like Ted Nugent's crazier younger brother.
Pogues by far followed by Dropkick for nostalgia reasons - I jammed to "Skinhead on the MBTA" circa 1996. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zNMDXEdxG9o&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zNMDXEdxG9o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Yeah the Blaggards are great. I met them the last time I was in Houston nice guys and they put on a great show.
Might as well fire you from the internet. Seriously, this is out of control and someone is gonna get b****slapped by an admin, I can feel it.
