Flogging Molly are a Los Angeles band led by Irish singer Dave King, who had done time in the hard rock band Fastway before steering toward something rowdier and more rooted. What he built is Celtic punk: a seven-piece that runs Irish folk melodies through punk rock's amplifiers, so every jig becomes a pogo and every drinking song picks up a few bruises. MusicBrainz lists a lineup including Dennis Casey, Matt Hensley, Nathen Maxwell, Bridget Regan, Mike Alonso and Spencer Swain alongside King.
Recording for SideOneDummy, they set the tone with Drunken Lullabies in 2002, its title song a roaring, whiskey-soaked singalong that barely stops to breathe. Within a Mile of Home followed in 2004 with "The Seven Deadly Sins", Float in 2008 brought "Requiem For A Dying Song" and "Punch Drunk Grinning Soul", and Speed of Darkness in 2011 gave them "Revolution", tougher and angrier than before. These days they're on their own label, Borstal Beat Records.
