4.0 out of 5 stars Polished Celtic Folk Rock
The Killdares take a different approach to (so called) Celtic Rock than better known bands such as the Pogues, Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphy's. They are essentially a power rock band with a fiddler and occasional bagpiper. They are more polished than the aforementioned bands, but this is not a bad thing. If you only like Celtic rock with punk attitude, you probably...

1.0 out of 5 stars Ungodly horrible
Can I give this Group 0 stars? I paid a $1.98 for this CD and I feel ripped off. I'm absolutely serious folks, this is one of the worst bands I've ever heard.

I got the CD, was a bit excited to hear a Celtic rock band who used bagpipes, so I put it in my car stereo. It wasn't too bad other than every song starts exactly the same... I mean the musicians can...

The Killdares take a different approach to (so called) Celtic Rock than better known bands such as the Pogues, Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphy's. They are essentially a power rock band with a fiddler and occasional bagpiper. They are more polished than the aforementioned bands, but this is not a bad thing. If you only like Celtic rock with punk attitude, you probably won't dig the Killdares. If you appreciate the more melodic side of Celtic music, combined with muscular power rock then you will love this album. They do a fantastic cover of the Leveller's 'Likes of you and I'.

I got the CD, was a bit excited to hear a Celtic rock band who used bagpipes, so I put it in my car stereo. It wasn't too bad other than every song starts exactly the same... I mean the musicians can play their instruments... IT"S HORRIBLE!! I actually left this CD on the counter of the pizza place I went for lunch. I left it there because I never wanted to hear anything like it again.

If you truely like Celtic Rock, Traditional Irish Folk/Punk; The Pogues, Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, even The Real McKenzies, do yourself a favor - Stay clear of this unbelievable crap. I dont know how they ever got this recorded. There must be some absolutely crazy recording artists out there.

I'm out. I'm getting nautious just talking about them.
