Float by Flogging Molly
Float is an album by Flogging Molly, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Requiem For A Dying Song”, on 4 lists with a best position of #40.
Float, Flogging Molly's fourth studio album, came out on March 4, 2008, on SideOneDummy, produced by the band themselves, and it's where the Los Angeles Celtic punks let the clouds roll in. Dave King, the Irish singer who once fronted the hard rock band Fastway, leads a set that is darker and more political than before, with fewer rowdy jigs and less straight punk thrash.
That doesn't mean it's gloomy. The band still knows how to raise a roar, but the songs carry more weight and a heavier heart; "Requiem for a Dying Song" is the rousing centerpiece, and "Punch Drunk Grinning Soul" swaggers like a closing-time sing-along. Fans turned out: it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with about 48,000 copies sold in its first week, and topped Billboard's Independent chart.
