The Tossers are a seminal celtic punk band hailing from Chicago, Illinois, renowned for infusing traditional Irish music with the raucous energy of punk rock. Formed in 1993, the band's sound is a vibrant blend of punk attitude and instruments that are hallmarks of Celtic music, including the tin whistle, fiddle, and mandolin. Over the years, The Tossers have built a loyal following through their storytelling prowess and their lively, impassioned live performances.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of Irish history and culture, The Tossers' discography is a testament to their mastery of narrative songwriting and instrumental dexterity. With poignant and sometimes politically charged lyrics, their work ranges from lively pub tunes to heartfelt ballads. Albums such as "The Emerald City" (2013) and "Smash The Windows" (2017) epitomize the band's ability to seamlessly marry the urgency of punk with the heritage of folk music, all while maintaining a distinct sense of locality rooted in their Chicago upbringing. Whether rallying the spirits on St. Patrick's Day with "Gloatin' And Showboatin': Live On St. Patrick's Day" or exploring the depths of human struggle on "The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death" (2005), The Tossers have cemented their status as torchbearers of the celtic punk genre.
