Flogging Molly is back.
Videos by American Songwriter
Your favorite raucous Celtic punk rock band has a new album, Anthem, which is set to drop on September 9. (Pre-order here.)
And to celebrate the announcement, the band has released a new live music video for their single “The Croppy Boy ’98,” which you can check out below.
The Los Angeles-via-Dublin-born band has also shared upcoming U.S. and European tour dates, also below. And the band’s new album comes from their renewed partnership with producer, Steve Albini.
“With this record, we went back to the basics in a way that I don’t think we could have done if we hadn’t been playing together for over 20 years,” says the band’s singer and guitar player, Dave King. “I think going back to Chicago and doing this record with Steve made the experience so fun and I really believe you can hear that on the record. For Flogging Molly, getting together and playing new songs is always the goal—and now we’re just getting excited to start playing these songs live and giving our fans a whole new era of Flogging Molly.”
As for their latest single, “The Croppy Boy ’98,” King calls it “a foot-stomping, rollicking ode to traditional Irish music.”
The new single’s live music video features footage of the band’s recent St. Patrick’s Day show and annual festival at the Hollywood Palladium.
Previously, Flogging Molly released the new single, “These Times Have Got Me Drinking/Tripping Up The Stairs,” which you can also see here below.
