Flogging Molly is a Celtic punk band that is composed of Dave King, Bob Schmidt, Naten Maxwell, Dennis Casey, Bridget Regan, Matt Hensley, and George Schwindt. The band is currently under SideOneDummy Records, and its band members are known to be talented in playing various non-typical band musical instruments such as the tin whistle, bodhran, concertina, harp, uillean pipes, among other instruments.
The first few albums of the band were mostly independent live albums, until they were able to have an exclusive EP released via iTunes on March 2007. A year after that, they released their second album called "Float," which has been recognized by Alternative Press as one of the must-hear CDs during the said year.
The band's music is said to be influenced by a variety of performers from Johnny Cash, The Pogues, Horslips to the Dubliners.
