I <stupidly> missed a St. Patricks day show in 2003 (don't ask). The DVD I have of a live performance looks pretty kicking: a lot like the Ramones shows I went to - hard core but inclusive & enthusiastic. They get a decent amount of airplay around Boston, but I don't think they've really broken out into mass-market conciousness (which is great for the fans). I like how they're progressing, unlike Flogging Molly, who's latest album I thought was just about unlistenable - too mellow/instumental/folky. Fine if you like that stuff, but they're certainly not Flogging much anymore, which is a shame.

I'd like to find more bands along the lines of DM's but I've not had much luck...suggestions anyone?
