Hi everyone!
I hope this kind of post is allowed here. I'm doing a little project where I go to different subreddits of music genres and I ask the members what the best album of that genre is. After this, I listen to the album that got the most upvotes after 24 hours and write my thoughts about it (I will write this as a comment under this one, so if you want to read it, make sure to check back in 2-3 days. This won't be a professional review btw. I don't know anything about music theory so it's just gonna be the thoughts of a random guy). The list I'm following is Wikipedia's list of the most popular music genres in a randomized order. I'm planning to listen to one album per day and this time the genre is Celtic Punk. So please recommend me an album in the comments. It could be the best one in your opinion, your personal favourite, or the album that best represents this genre according to you, but please, only submit one album. If you submit more than one in your comment, it won't count (If you really want to submit more, do it in separate comments). LPs are preferred, but EPs and mixtapes are also acceptable, even compilations and live albums if they're not too long. I don't know anything about this genre, so I'm going in blind.
This is the 264th day of me doing this. If you want to see what the previous days were, check out my post history.
Thanks to anyone who recommends an album.
TL;DR: I listen to a new genre every day, so recommend me one album and I'll listen to the most upvoted one and write my thoughts about it later.
I absolutely love Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys. What are some more Irish/Celtic punk bands like them?
Edit: Anything Slavic related I would like to hear more of too. I love Dezerter
From the newer stuff I'm hearing it sounds like a different genre altogether that's not even influenced by Punk anymore.
Essentially what I'm saying is bands like the newer bands I've been hearing is extremely average and sounds like they're trying to copycat the sound and image those first wave bands put out. With unoriginal lyrics, average melodies, and losing that working class pride mentality.
Is it becoming like Pop Punk in the 00s where it hit a point that it's clearly a different genre?
