Band: FLOGGING MOLLY
Who: Irish-American seven-piece Celtic
punk team formed in Los Angeles in 1997 / 7 albums

New album: ANTHEM
Released: 9 September 2022

Dave King (the band’s singer-songwriter): “Flogging Molly are less of a band than they
are a Transatlantic, Celtic-punk institution. Over the course of 25 years and thousands of
shows around the world, Flogging Molly have transcended genres to become one of a very
few bands that can literally share the stage with The Chieftains one day and Motörhead the next (this actually happened, by the way). For this seventh full-length, we decided to get back
to our roots and record 14 songs in 14 days with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies) at Electrical
Audio Studio in Chicago. It was quite amazing because I don’t think as band we’ve ever done that before.”

TUTV: This new Flogging Molly sounds like The Pogues and Dropkick Murphys teamed
up in an Irish pub for a (drunken) jam. Songs about real life, songs about beer (of course), sad/happy songs, songs about the past-the present-the future, and punk-folk songs.

A festive mix of sing-along chants. Boozed-up fun garantueed.

Singles/clips: A Song Of Liberty / The Croppy Boy ’98 / These Times Have Got Me Drinking-Tripping Up The Stairs

– A SONG OF LIBERTY –

COVER OF THE WEEK – Graceful TOYAH And Her Rhythm Slaves

Posted on by JL

19 August 2022

TOYAH and ROBERT FRIPP do not need an introduction whatsoever anymore,
if you ask me (also if you don’t ask me). Both had/have notable successful careers
and both together have their Sunday lunch on YouTube, every week for more
than two years now.

About 2 months ago the lovebirds picked Grace Jones‘s giant 1985 hit
Slave to the Rhythm to entertain us with it on the laziest day of the week.

Recently T & R recorded their cover of that soulful pearl, fully orchestrated,
as a new Toyah single, and shared an accompanying video so you can join
sexy Toyah for a little dance to this sensuous interpretation with her seductive
posh pop voice as the star in the middle and the trippy guitars of King Robert
and Simon Darlow on the sides, left and right. They’re rhythm slaves to Toyah.


Sway your hips, ladies, and gents.

The gracious original

And more TOYAH news.

Remastered and expanded editions of her Gold-selling album
Anthem (which turned 20 years last year) will be launched on
9 September.
