It's ok. I kinda like Flatfoot 56, even though I'm a strong advocate of the separation of church and Celtic music played by hairy dudes who look Irish

I didn't expect to like this but I actually did. It was a fun cover.

I did not visit this board in quite a while so I am sorry if this has been answered already, but who will be playing guitar?

I love the Tossers but I had never paid attention to their lyrics. Sometimes, I just realized that the songs are quite... obscure. Or maybe too poetic for me? Like A Night of Earth, it does not make much sense. Like "it could be our last night until 'morn". Isn't it always the case? And th...

Like most of the Mahones albums, I find that half the songs are great and the other half is meh. But it's just me.

Well, that depends. Arrangements evolve over time in the natural order of things. However, "Dirty Old Town" may be a special case as, in 2001, we abandoned the 1985 arrangement we had worked on with Elvis Costello for Rum, Sodomy . Elvis felt that because Ewan MacColl's ballad does not sh...

For those who are interested, here's a Tossers gig.The start playing at about 200:00. They play a bunch of new songs off the new record that should come out really soon, and they're all fantastic.

I doubt a lot of people here knew who he was. But No Use for a Name did an awesome cover of Fairytale of New York back in the days so I thought it was appropriate to post about his death here. He died two days ago and it's a very sad time for punk rock.

Wow. This is the very first time I hear this song, and while I think it's a great rendition of Gainsbourg's classic, I had to refer to the lyrics sheet to understand what Shane was singing.

They said on FB that they can't come to Canada anymore because they can't get into the country. I got to see them once opening for the Dropkicks, but it looks like I won't get to see them again anytime soon. I wonder why they can't enter the country anymore. Maybe one of them got drunk and started s...

I like the singer's voice. Is that you?

POGUES JAPAN 1991 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_kwbOdY3Os&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyrivemQpkQ&feature=related How long after this was Shane fired ? Wasn't the last show with Shane in Japan that year? I've also heard this was televised. Considering the video quality...

What the hell are you talking about? This is so not the point I was trying to make. A punk who feels he has to wear a Bad Religion t-shirt, a Sex Pistols hat, Clash pins and a NOFX jackstrap to be punk is more of a poser than anything else. I like the music. I just think that dressing that way makes...

I thought emo and Twilight took care of that a long time ago.

I searched on the forum but I couldn't find any topic about this band. I just discovered them yesterday, and I think they're very good. They are from Ireland I believe. They play a very fine cover of Streams of Whiskey if you like punk rock. And they also have a good version of Finnegan's Wake. Othe...
