Mama's Boys

**Mama's Boys** were a spirited rock band hailing from Ireland, formed in the late 1970s by the McManus brothers—Pat (guitar/vocals), John (bass), and Tommy (drums). True to their name, the trio’s musical journey was deeply rooted in family, encouraged by their fiddle-playing mother, who instilled a love for blending traditional Irish melodies with fiery hard rock. Their sound became a signature mix of punchy riffs, energetic rhythms, and Celtic flair, earning them a loyal following across Europe.

Through the 1980s and early ’90s, the band dropped electrifying albums like *Plug It In* (1983), *Turn It Up* (1984), and *Relativity* (1987), showcasing their knack for anthemic hooks and rollicking live energy. They shared stages with legends like Thin Lizzy and Rush, solidifying their rep as a must-see act. Though tragedy struck with Tommy’s passing in 1994, their legacy lives on through releases like the career-spanning *Runaway Dreams: 1980-1992*, a testament to their underrated place in rock history.
