Artist:Flogging Molly
Song:Float
Album:Float
Flogging Molly has been described as Celtic Punk. They are from Los Angeles but lead singer Dave King was born in Dublin, Ireland so he brings those influences with him. The band's success has mostly been in the Alternative Rock market. King was the lead singer of Fastway and Katmandu. He signed a solo deal with Epic. But when they objected to his use of traditional Irish instruments, King got out of the deal. He formed a new band that became Flogging Molly and they signed with SideOneDummy. The name was after the Los Angeles pub where they played weekly. The core of the band is King and wife Bridget Regan on violin. On the 2008 album Float, the rest of the band was Dennis Casey on guitar, Matt Hensley on accordion and piano, Nathen Maxwell on bass, Robert Schmidt on banjo and mandolin and George Schwindt on drums. The album was recorded in Ireland. It's their biggest selling album to date. Flogging Molly's latest album Life Is Good was released in 2017 on Vanguard Records. They have been running an annual Salty Dog Cruise since 2015. I'm sure they will continue that after the pandemic is over. They are touring Europe this summer. Here's the video for Float by Flogging Molly.
