Weekly Underrated

As far as rowdy Irish-punk music, we tend to only think of the heavyweights who dominate the category: The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys and maybe just maybe Flatfoot 56.

As far as a band, especially a song, that is way underrated in this particular category, it is none other than “Mad Men” by The Briggs.

The song, to put it simply, is insane. From the second it starts you feel the need to stop your feet and clap your hands. There is none of the waiting around idly for the “good part” when it comes to “Mad Med.” On the recording of the song they even Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys doing some guest vocals.

With a fast tempo, pounding rhythm and the vocals of Joey and Jason LaRocca (yes, brothers)- the song is everything Irish-punk should be.

I suggest you take a listen to this amazing song by an amazing band. I only wish they did more shows in Southern California because they seem like they would be so fun to see live!
