JoshuaRed Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 My FAVORITE band, FLOGGING MOLLY have a new cd out on Tues the 14th...and it's got PIRATES!!!! OH YEAH!!! If you haven't listened to these guys (and gal) you need to. It's the best and baddest Irish punk on the planet. I've been following them for awhile now, and they just get better and better. From time to time, they've flirted with the subject of piracy, mostly in the graphics of their shirts. But on the new cd they have at least 3 tracks I know of that are about pirates: Seven Deadly Sins Queen Anne's Revenge Tobacco Island (about Barbados) Wanna listen? Check it out HERE. Go to the Goodies area, for mp3 files of Seven Deadly Sins and QAR. Trust me, this group is the real deal, kick ass, original product. Their songs always deal with the downtrodden, the oppressed, the desperate thieves, in a rockin' punk way that will get you moving. You can "hear the pirates" even in their work that isn't specifically about piracy. So, if you like your music hard, fast as hell and raw as a keelhaul, get this new cd on Tuesday: Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolie Rouge Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Flogging Molly's definately the Pogues fer the next generation. If ya happen ta be a sailor as well as a pirate, the song "Every dog has it's day" will probably bring a tear ta yer eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pynch Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Many fair winds to you Joshua Red for the reccommendation. Just bought the CD...and it's FABULOUS! Now, if'n I can just get the "Cap'n Pike's" Metallica out of the shops hurdy-gurdy, I may even get tae listen whilst I'm slingin' ink today.

Duchess Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Well, I just picked up the new disk yesterday. I have to say that I am a wee bit dissapointed. It lacks the flash and energy of some their other stuff. It feels toned down and overly polished. The Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsoncrow Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Picked up the cd on it's release date, (I am a wee bit late on me 2 'bloons on the subject). Have enjoyed it to the upmost. There are alot of nods to the strife of Irish history, if you know what you are looking at. Tobacco Island is a prime example, in the chorus as well as the mention of Cromwell and the Roundheads. ( early to mid 1600's) The butcher and his crown ,refers directly to England and Cromwell. Cromwell is cursed to this day for the slaughter of innocents on the Auld Sod. ( Made a mess of Wexford, right bastard he was.) Factory Girls contains a section of an Irish traditional song called, Whiskey On A Sunday,( The Puppet Song) , was I suprised to hear that, have always liked it in it's entirety. I could go on for ages. I tip me hat to ye, JoshuaRed. Had you not mentioned the link to the sampler I would have never given them a shot. (I knew of their being around but was leary) As for being classified as Punk, that is amusing in itself. I am showing my age by saying I remember Punk in it's original form. Flogging Molly is not quite what I would put in that class. Their fast stuff sounds like Pub music on overdrive, nothing more.......and that's ok. There be me two bobs.... Privateer & Commander of "Finnegan's Wake" Faodaidh fearg sealltainn a strigh air cridh an duine ghlic, ach comhnaichdh i an amadain.

Matty Bottles Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Dropkick Murphy's pre-Al Barr: AWESOME!!!! DropKick Murphy's post-Al Barr: AWFUL!!!!!! Mike McColgan's sideburns: mediocre Al Barr's sideburns: MAGNIFICENT!!! So you see, it's a toss up. But Flogging Molly does kick a whole ass-load of ass. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.
