Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly

Drunken Lullabies, Flogging Molly's second album, came out on SideOneDummy in 2002, and it's a pint glass hurled straight at the jukebox. The Los Angeles seven-piece, led by Irish singer Dave King, once of the hard rock band Fastway, bolts Celtic folk onto punk's speed and spite, and this was their first record with Dennis Casey on guitar.

The title track is the calling card, a reeling, fist-in-the-air stomp that turned up on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 soundtrack and on the Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2 compilation. The album only scraped to number 157 on the Billboard chart, but it kept finding people long enough to be certified gold.
