    If you like Flogging MOlly, def. give The Tossers a try. You'll be glad you did!! They put on a great live show as well, I say them when they opened for Reverand Horton Heat (also a great show)!

    1MUNK3, I agree with most of those, however some I would put in the same genre as Flogging Molly and Real McKenzies. The Exploited, Sedition, are definitely an Oi punk band, and don't play folk rock at all. Oi Polloi is interesting in that they sing in Gaelic, but their music isn't especially Celtic sounding, and they have some lyrics which I don't really care for. The Dubliners and the Clancy Brothers are exclusively folk bands (except for when The Dubliners perform with The Pogues). The Levellers are more Celtic rock than Celtic punk, and Runrig is like stadium rock, although I do like their version of Loch Lomond with the Tartan Army).

    Some others I'd like to suggest though:
    Charm City Saints
    Neck
    Siobhan
    Sled
    The Prodigals
    Orthodox Celts
    Fiddler's Green

    Oh, not at all! I wasn't mad or angry, I was just pointing out that some of the bands that you listed may not be exactly what people searching for Celtic Punk or Rock will be what they're looking for. I'm all for spreading the Good Word of Music!

    Have you listened to Wolfstone? They sound a lot like The Tannhill Weavers, but have some more "edgy" or "hard" songs too.

    They're a lot like Seven Nations. Old 7N.
