> [@RedRosesForMe](#): > > **tr0psn4j,** hopefully you’ve got suggestions now that won’t disappoint you. I could probably come up with another dozen similar bands if pressed. Yeah I have quite a few bands to listen to now. Thanks a lot! 🙂 ---

Seconding Boiled in Lead and The Fenians. Not punk in the same way DkM are. This is a good thing. _Do or Die_ is by far their best album, no question. I agree with **RedRoses** ; they changed a lot. The Fenians are fucking awesome live, FTR. I know a lot of people love Black 47. I’m not _huge_ on them, but they haven’t been mentioned, so I figured I’d do so. My personal favorite band of that sort-of genre is [The Kissers](http://www.thekissers.com). Even better live than The Fenians, and a lot of their songs are original. They don’t fall into the nu-punk trap, which is even better, and. . .they started off as a Pogues cover band. And. . .it’s not the exact same genre, but everyone I know that has loved Celtic Punk has loved Gogol Bordello when I’ve told them about it (and _I_ found out about them from this board). Also, check out Gaelic Storm. Far more traditional, but still fun. Same with Great Big Sea. ---

Ha, I just started a thread about the Gogol Bordello show here in July. 🆒 ---

Ha! Terry Casey, lead singer and mandolin player for The Fenians, played Gogol Bordello for me once- it was… _interesting_! 😉 ---
