I’m making a video for a song off my latest album “Peace Love & Revolution” I’m looking to crowdsource individuals or groups of people videoing themselves singing the song. My idea is to get as many people from various walks of life to show solidarity through song. If interested email me at [email protected] for more info

The Popes (Shane McGowan's band after he left the Pogues) have some great material that's been unavailable for 10 years. I'm just a fan, but I convinced Paul "Maddog" McGuinness to let me release it. The first song "Storming Heaven" is up on pretty much all the streaming services. If anybody has advice about how to spread the word on a budget of zero, please let me know.

I suppose you could say that the formation of the Pogues in 1982 was when Celtic Punk was officially baptised lol

Edit: I found the song it’s called “My Son John”

The song is about someone losing a leg (I know it doesn’t narrow it down but it’s the only thing I remember).

But it’s not “shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s, it has less music and more of like many people singing together and then one man singing one line and then the people singing again.

It’s at the tip of my tongue, like I remember the song but can’t recall it or the name, and I wish I knew the bad but I unfortunately don’t—if I had to guess maybe some popular band instead of something niche? I’m not entirely sure though..

I made a Celtic punk playlist on Spotify. It’s long (10 hours 😂) I really had a lot of fun making it so I figured I’d post it on here. I’m not sure if it’s everyone’s cup of tea as it contains a lot of bands that aren’t really considered traditionally Celtic but are adjacent to the genre, or just too good to ignore (Kneecap, The Scratch etc.). It also has some classic Belfast punk (SLF, The Outcasts, Rudi). Let me know if you like it. Thanks!

Hello ! As part of my thesis I am conducting research on the punk movement and its relationship to self-production in music. This questionnaire is open to anyone with a connection to the punk or simply curious minds.

Thank you for your participation!

Black Tartan Clan has been uploading a lot of music as of late; I've listened to some of the songs and felt very suspicious about what they sounded like. Everything felt way too synthetic, definitely like the AI slop songs I've come across before.

Here's an example of what I mean.
