I, the mighty and foreboding Panicman123, have decided to start a new...thing. As "Ask Panicman123" was a shameless rip-off, this is new. It's called, "Panicman123's You gotta Check this Out!" Each week I'll blog about something that you gotta check out, be it books, comics, music, movies, or anything I want. Best of all, you can send me your suggestions for things I should check out and then I can write about them.
This week: the LA-based Irish rock band Flogging Molly. Look them up and listen. Their brand of punk-Celt is awe-inspiring and is sure to make your blood pump. Sometimes political (Drunken Lullabies) sometimes pirate-themed (Salty Dog), and sometimes folk-ish (Factory Girls), there's something for everyone.
Another great thing about them; they're all in-band. Seeing them live is even better than listening to the record, because every instrument is accounted for. Not to mention the smoking-hot violinist. Molly is one of those bands that you feel in your soul as you listen, and the music consumes you. YOU GOTTA CHECK IT OUT!
Here's a link; this speech leaves me breathless:
