Flogging Molly - Swagger - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Flogging Molly's latest album, Float, recorded in King's native Ireland, delivers still another iteration of the band's sonic evolution. More mature yet retaining the immediacy that marks all of their work, Float may find the widest audience acceptance of any Flogging Molly album. Hard charging tunes 'Paddy's Lament' and 'You Won't Make a Fool Out of Me' give way, as listeners have come to expect, to more sober ruminations on tracks like 'Float'. The overall effect is a symphonic layering of sound that possesses a unique rhythmic flow from boisterous to bereaved and back again. Long time fans and new discoverers will be equally astounded. 11 tracks.

The follow-up to their highly successful 2000 debut, Swagger. Drunken Lullabies showcases the band's ability to move between chaotic working class punk rock and beautiful Celtic influenced ballads complete with acoustic guitar, tin whistle, violin and accordion.

The highly anticipated full-length follow-up to 2002's DRUNKEN LLABIES. Flogging Molly continue to breed traditional Irish influences and heavy-hearted storytelling with brazen, barn-burning punk rock. At the same time, the ballads that have become welcome staples to their live show (giving the audience a break from the frenzy) are also stronger than ever. Look for a couple surprises this time around such as a Cajun vibe on the track InchTomorrow comes a Day Too SoonInch and a guest appearance by Lucinda Williams on InchFactory GirlsInch.
