The infectious originality of Flogging Molly’s songs is a badge of honour and key to the band’s creativity, their urgency. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments—violin, mandolin and the accordion—and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music, the music of frontman Dave King’s youth. Flogging Molly is constantly touring, playing raucous and adrenaline-fueled shows in packed clubs and nearly every major rock festival on the planet. Theirs is music of exile and rebellion, of struggle and history and protest and Flogging Molly’s fans have always appreciated the social and political awareness driving the band. Speed of Darkness is their latest album release, but, first and foremost, Flogging Molly are a band to see live… Expect them to showcase their unparalleled and limitless energy on stage at the A once again!
