If your sister works as a customer service rep for a popular web host- then this post is for you, buddy! 

I needed some help on BandVox’s website account and called the customer service line.  While we chatted, I mentioned what BandVox does- review Celtic Punk music.  My wonderful (and I do mean wonderful) CSR mentioned that her brother liked celtic and punk music, but wasn’t aware of celtic punk as a genre.  As much as I wanted to give her a list of links and bands to check out, I didn’t want her to get into trouble for personal stuff at work.  So here’s hoping that you see this post.  Or BandVox.com.  Or the Squidoo lense that I’m building.

 A good way to explore the genre is to check out internet radio stations that are currently free such as Shite ‘n Onions and Radio Rebel Gael.  Good bands to start with are Flogging Molly, Black 47, Larkin Brigade, and Icewagon Flu even has a virtual podcast with some of the songs from their new album The Great American Something.  Since these bands are rather different from each other, it should give you a fairly good idea of what’s out there, though is by no means comprehensive.

 For more information you can check BandVox, Shite ‘n Onions (website), and PaddyRock.  Of course, a google search on Celtic Punk should throw out some pretty good links as well.
