I agree that Measnest is very dark, which is probably why I don't like it as much. I'm more of an upbeat kinda guy, which is why I love DKM so much, their music is all about partying, having a good time, getting drunk, and just being together. I like Flogging Molly too, but still DKM holds my heart as the best band out there these days, b/c lets be honest, most new bands really really suck. I thank God that bands like DKM and FM still exist. Oh, and is there any Real McKenzies fans in here? They rock too.
