Swagger in Bloomington, MN

Nothing like a traditional Irish band from California. All cynicism aside,
Flogging Molly
's hybrid of street punk and pub-rock is a ruckus of punch-drunk energy. Combining the folk of
the Pogues
with an Oi! blast by way of
the Dropkick Murphys
, their debut full-length
Swagger
provides a brew of rowdy party music that's perfect for any barroom brawl. ~ Mike DaRonco
