Flogging Molly is a seven-piece Celtic punk band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1997. Founded by Irish vocalist Dave King and fusing the rowdy spirit of punk rock with traditional Irish music, Flogging Molly's distinctive sound is enriched with instruments like the tin whistle, banjo, and accordion, alongside electric guitars and drums. The band's energetic performances and authentic storytelling quickly resonated with fans of both punk rock and Celtic music traditions.

Since their raucous beginnings at a pub called Molly Malone's, Flogging Molly has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, beginning with their debut "Swagger" in 2000. As they progressed, records like "Drunken Lullabies" and "Within a Mile of Home" solidified their place in the punk scene with tales of life, love, and political dissent. The band's live performances are famously electrifying, captured in releases like "Live at the Greek Theatre." Into the 2010s and 2020s, albums such as “Float,” “Speed of Darkness,” and "Life Is Good" showcase their continual evolution and commitment to addressing contemporary social issues while never losing touch with their roots. Flogging Molly remains a mainstay in their genre, cultivating a loyal following through relentless touring and a discography that captures the essence of their impassioned live shows.
