I love traditional irish music, but i dont have many "irish rock" songs, i think this kind of stuff sounds great, its a real mix of old irish music with more modern american rock.
Anyone else know any other songs like this?

Anything by the Dropkick Murphys or Floggin Molly really.

Drop Kick Murphys played the Ambassador recently, awesome show. They tour Ireland quite a lot and their gigs are always good craic.

saw dropkicks in Boston in 01, not a huge fan but they kicked ass that day for obvious reasons, and Floggin' Molly at the music centre a while back was unbelievable. There's been a few half decent Irish punk bands over the last few years but none of em ever really got anywhere. More pop punk and ska than a trad irish thing.
Dropkicks became part of the US Punk scene in the 90's, on Epitaph or Hellcat Records and were on the Warped tour a lot. They really crossed over into that whole NOFX/Green Day/offspring crowd while retaining hardcore credentials, especially back here. Sometimes this type of thing works, sometimes it's truly awful. That's not one of their better songs though
Anyway one of those nearly men of Irish punk recently summarised here:

We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
