Irish punk bands: a field guide

Put a little punk in your Paddy's Day

We suppose there are some folks in this world who will crowd-surf to fiddle and accordion music any day of the year. For the rest of us, such activities are generally confined to St. Patrick’s Day.

Even after a few black and tans, you’ll be sorted with our handy-dandy guide to the best Irish punk bands. Erin go bragh!—Andy Hermann, Metromix
