Flogging Molly + Russkaja and Vandoliers
For nearly two decades, Flogging Molly has melded punk and Irish musical traditions to achieve a rollicking sound that's the perfect accompaniment to a night on the town. The Los Angeles seven-piece has made a name for themselves as a rip-roaring live act, treating fans to an intoxicating combination of furious fiddling, breakneck drumming, and sing-along choruses. Whether fans are looking to dance a jig, learn a new drinking song, or just mosh their brains out, Flogging Molly always delivers the goods with epic sets of their high-energy tunes on tour.

~~~~~~~~
The creation of Flogging Molly's new record, Speed of Darkness, was anything but business as usual for the band. "It wasn't the album we set out to write," vocalist/guitarist Dave King says. "It became the album we had to write." Musically and lyrically, Flogging Molly has never sounded so mature or rousing, nor have the messages of alienation and hope behind their songs ever been so relevant. Speed of Darkness was written over several months when the band would descend into the basement of King's Detroit home - a home he shares with his wife, Flogging Molly fiddler, Bridget Regan. Speed Of Darkness is music to play after you've lost your job or your love, and music to listen to as you dream of better things for your family and country. It's the music you hear as you fight a bigger man, and it's the music you hear as you help him from the floor and buy him a pint at the bar. The album, like Flogging Molly itself, is a testament to youth and resilience, to growing old and the wisdom of scars, and yet for all of the record's darkness and the speed with which it descends, the ultimate theme is one of light: We can persevere. We must and we will persevere.
Founded in Los Angeles in 1997, Flogging Molly has always defied categorization. The infectious originality of their songs is a badge of honor and key to the band's creativity, their urgency. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments - violin, mandolin and the accordion - and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music, the music of King's youth.
