Flogging Molly released their new album "The Speed of Darkness" today. These guys are one of my favorite bands ever. I remember going to Warped Tour with my friend when I was like 14(?) and being in the pit and just having a blast. Afterwards, my buddy and I went to meet the band, bought t-shirts, and got our hats signed! That memory just cemented them in my mind as just a class act, as well as having a top ten slot in Birdman's favorite musicians.
This new album isn't as hard edged as the ones that go before it. The first few songs (especially the title track) hearken back to their punk roots, but the vast majority are a lot more acoustic based. It's not selling out as much as Dave King, the singer, maturing. Overall, a great album, and take a look at the tasters we've provided for you below.
