Celtic Punk Lives On!
Like celtic music? Like punk music? Have you tried celtic punk? Also known as paddypunk and kiltrock, celtic punk combines the best of both worlds. Thrash worthy tunes with traditional Irish lyrics or bagpipes as backup. This lens is a great place to get started.

- Shite 'n Onions
- Reviews, videos, band cds as well as mix cds made by Shite 'n Onions, tour information, and more.
- PaddyRock.com

Bands You May Not Have Heard Of
But should
- Icewagon Flu
- This website actually has a virtual i-pod with several songs from their new cd. It's a great way to test drive new music.
- Ceann
- Not punk per se, but popular drinking/pub music with a celtic bent. Incredibly funny, but probably not for those who haven't had "the talk" yet.
- JD and the Longfellows
- Also drinking/pub music- inspires drunken dancing and a good laugh to those sober enough to hear the lyrics.
- The Larkin Brigade
- Best described as insane. However, the music is a trip and runs from political motivation to zombies in pubs.
- Black 47
- This band is insanely popular, and quite prolific.
Celtic Punk Vids
Celtic Punk On MySpace
- BandVox
- BandVox's MySpace page- some of the best bands and stations are listed in my Top Friends list.
- Icewagon Flu
- These guys seem to be "online" more than they play!
- JD and the Longfellows
- Fantastic band, though with a little bit of a bluegrass/country influence.
- The Larkin Brigade
- These guys are a bit odd, but awesome.
Are You A Traditionalist?
There's a lot of crossover between traditional Celtic music and Celtic Punk/Celtic Rock, both in the bands themselves and the fans. So what do you think?
Do you think Celtic Rock/Punk is just as Celtic as the traditional Celtic music?

A Great Way To Check Out The Genre
- Shite 'n Onions
- This is my personal favorite.
- Radio Rebel Gael
- An excellent station and the DJ sometimes comes on air with tidbits about the bands, songs, and the situation in Ireland.
- Angry Young and Poor
- Punk, but not actually celtic punk. This station is owned by a shop a few miles from my house that sells some great clothes, music, etc.
