If you're familiar with Black 47's New York attitude with a Celtic instruments, let me start by saying, sadly, they are not on MP3.com. I was surfing the net hoping to meet some new bands, when I came across their site. Admittedly, I didn't know much about them or what to expect. The link said Celtic and that's what I went with.

Black 47 plays original confrontational Irish music. As the bio says, when as asked to play an Irish song, the replied, "I'm from Ireland. I wrote the song, that makes it Irish. So shut the fuck up!"

The music combines, guitar, sax, drums, trombone, tin whistle and Uilleann pipes. Very unique sound. Next, add the vocals which are sorta David Byrne-ish, but better. He sings with amazing attitude and emotion. The MP3s I listened to that are free for downloading on their website are just incredible.

The singer has a new solo project out called "Kilroy was here". The one MP3 they had available, "Molly" was killer, but I decided instead to review their most popular track on their recent CD.

Wickedly satirical song in a sort of Irish Ska Funk style.
