House of Pain were three guys who figured rap could come with a shamrock on its sleeve: Everlast on the mic, Danny Boy alongside him, and DJ Lethal working the turntables, sampler and effects. Signed to Tommy Boy, they dressed their hardcore hip-hop in Celtic colors and pioneered Irish rap while they were at it, a novelty on paper that played like a bar fight on record.

The 1992 debut, House of Pain, carried "Shamrocks and Shenanigans" and the one everybody knows, "Jump Around", a shrieking party starter with a beat that turns any room into a mosh pit. Two more albums followed, Same as It Ever Was in 1994 and Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again in 1996, and then the crew called it quits.

They didn't stay gone entirely, regrouping for a world tour in 2010 and again in 2017. In between, the members scattered to bigger stages: Everlast launched a solo career and teamed with DJ Lethal in the supergroup La Coka Nostra, while Lethal found a second life spinning for Limp Bizkit.
