Here’s a playlist of Irish punk and rock bands for your St. Patrick’s Day playlist.
While traditional Irish music is completely appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day, sometimes, you want to listen to something that makes you want to pogo around like a lunatic. Thankfully, Ireland has a rich history of punk and rock bands, which we here at HollywoodLife have been compiled into a playlist below for your enjoyment. While this list is by no means complete, there are plenty of groups to jam while drinking back a pint of your favorite Irish red ale safely at home until we get the go-ahead to return to the pubs. When it comes to Irish punk, a handful of bands immediately springs to mind. One of them, Stiff Little Fingers, formed in 1977, back in the first wave of punk. The group still performs and records, though vocalist and guitarist Jake Burns is the only remaining original member. If you want to check them out, try spinning Nobody’s Hero. It’s one of the best albums ever and perfect to play while drinking down some Bushmills with your mates on Zoom.
