Sick.
Celtic Punk is hardcore. I love when bands take old and traditional concepts, such as folk songs and tin whistles, and completely revamp the whole meaning of a genre by smashing another genre together to create a new idea.
The Pogues overwhelm the Album with Irish heritage, and I can't get enough of it.
Do we jig? Do we drink? Who cares, It's The Pogues!
Just got a little repetitive at times, and by the end, you could probably take a break from the Irish for awhile.
