Sweeney’s Men was an Irish traditional band. They emerged from the late 1960s Irish roots revival, along with groups such as The Dubliners and the Clancy Brothers. The founding line-up in May 1966 was ‘Galway Joe’ Dolan, Johnny Moynihan and Andy Irvine. The band experienced brief popularity, with their first and second singles hitting the top ten in the Irish charts. In June 1967, Dolan decided to travel to Israel to fight in the Six Day war and was replaced by Terry Woods. At the time, they played the tin whistle, concertina, harmonica, guitar, mandolin, banjo and bouzouki. This line up recorded their first full-length album, “Sweeney’s Men” in 1968. Andy Irvine left the band in May 1968, to travel Eastern Europe. He was replaced by Henry McCullough, who had been repatriated to Ireland while on an Eire Apparent tour, due to visa problems. McCullough played electric guitar, and his tenure saw the band explore more progressive, psychedelic territory. McCullough left in July 1968 to join Joe Cocker’s Grease Band, and was briefly replaced by Al O’Donnell. It was a duo of Woods and Moynihan who recorded the band’s second, and final, album “The Tracks Of Sweeney, released in 1969. Shortly after this release, the band broke up, on 22 November 1969. A reunion almost occurred in 1970 or 71, with Ashley Hutchings joining on guitar, but it didn’t happen. Sweeney’s Men did play a reunion show in 2007.
The group has released several EPs including their debut Young Liars (2003), and four critically acclaimed studio albums: Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (2004), Return to Cookie Mountain (2006), Dear Science (2008), and Nine Types of Light (2011).
For the bulk of their existence, the core TV on the Radio lineup has been Tunde Adebimpe (vocals/loops), David Andrew Sitek (guitars/keyboards/loops), Kyp Malone (vocals/guitars/bass/loops), Jaleel Bunton (drums/vocals/loops/guitars) and Gerard Smith (bass/keyboards) as official members. Smith died from lung cancer on April 20, 2011. The band has replaced Smith for their current tour but have not yet announced their long term plans as a band without him…read more on Wikipedia

The Standells are a garage rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in the 1960s, who have been referred to as the “Godfathers of Punk Rock”, and are best known for their 1966 hit “Dirty Water,” now the anthem of several Boston sports teams.
According to critic Richie Unterberger,
“”Dirty Water” [was] an archetypal garage rock hit with its Stones-ish riff, lecherous vocal, and combination of raunchy guitar and organ. While they never again reached the Top 40, they cut a number of strong, similar tunes in the 1966-1967 era that have belatedly been recognized as ’60s punk classics. “Garage rock” may not have been a really accurate term for them in the first place, as the production on their best material was full and polished, with some imaginative touches of period psychedelia and pop.”
The Flatliners are a punk rock/ska punk band from Richmond Hill and Brampton, Ontario, Canada.[1] Since their formation in 2002, The Flatliners have been a growing influence in the Toronto punk/ska scene as well as other areas of the Greater Toronto Area. They are currently signed to Fat Wreck Chords[2] and Stomp Records (Canada). As well, they won the inaugural, annual “Best Band Ever” award given by the Edmonton Vinyl Blog DigitalIsDead. The small publication has also named their third LP, “Cavalcade” the front runner for their annual “Record Of The Year” award for 2010…read more
By way of explanation. Pete Holidai is known to some as the guitarist with the cherished Radiators ( from Space ), an undersold entity spawned as Dublin’s best shot during the mud of late 70’s punk. This band drew from a wide catchment of sources so it’s no surprise that The Devil’s Guitar utilises the 1950’s as it’s pivot. Although the Formula Steamroller pace of the Rads has probably left Mr Holidai plenty of time to write and record as an outside entity, this solo album is a debut – probably long conceived and talked up before a note was ever strummed…read more at Wretch Falafel
Anvil has been on a rock ‘n’ roll journey for the past three decades, but it has become a very public rocket ride into the musical and pop culture stratosphere only recently. And that’s their dedication to their music. Ever since the award-winning documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil propelled the Canadian band from their respectable, hard-earned status as a band revered by the likes of Metallica, Motorhead and Guns N’ Roses, Anvil founding members, vocalist/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner, have made sure that one thing remains constant. Rather than shy away from the publicity, the attention and the casual fans that are a product of this rock doc, Anvil, rounded out by bassist Glenn Five, are embracing it. “We are going after it with a vengeance,” Kudlow declared. “That’s how we think about life in general. Enjoy every minute, like you are winning the Cup!” …read more
Jeff Proctor, RAZORCAKE reviewer,writes that” Di Nigunim is an anarcho-klezmer punk collective from San Diego. Politically and musically radical, Di Nigunim plays an intense brand of punk rock inspired by traditional Jewish music employing an expansive rotating roster of musicians who rip shit up on accordion, piano, sax, trumpet, and a fuck ton of drums. Think a more dynamic and rougher Gogol Bordello and you’re on the right track. Traditional songs such as “L’Cha Dodi” and “Havenu Shalom” are sung in Hebrew with vocals from everyone, creating a sonic atmosphere of a socially lubricated and riotous Jewish wedding. Throw this one on at your next socially conscious dance party.”

Red Fang drank a lot and made a great music video — and they got signed because of it. — Leah Sottile
“The puke is real. … We drank so much that day.” John Sherman, the drummer in the Portland rock band Red Fang, is talking about barfing during the shoot for the band’s “Prehistoric Dog” video — which, after going viral and gaining more than 200,000 views on YouTube, had a hand in the band being signed to Relapse Records.
If you haven’t seen the video, watch it (below). The four-piece wages war on a group of LARPers in wizard costumes, all the while chugging beer after beer after beer after … actually, if you have any tinge of a hangover, it’s best to wait on watching it. Because at one point — out of the blue — Sherman and guitarist Brian Giles hurl side by side on a coffee table.
“Brian was the first one to puke,” he says, recounting that the guitarist had stepped outside to get sick. “[The director] was like, ‘What’s he doing? If you’re going to puke, you’re doing it on camera.’” But because they did puke on camera, fight with nerds in medieval garb and build Monty Pythonesque costumes out of spent beer cans, hundreds of thousands more people — people who might never have given Red Fang a second look — heard the band…read more
