The Tossers - Agony

Reviewed by michaelo

The Tossers are a less aggressive version of Flogging Molly and the Dropkick Murphys – infusing more of the traditional aspects of Celtic folk music with a more gypsy-esque Pogues and Dubliners aesthetic. Agony is a good straight forward album chock full of drink swilling goodness and pub anthems. Think Irish flutes, banjos, mandolins, and violins. Up-tempo tunes like "The Nut House" could get most good punkers a-punking, but those looking for real punk are advised to keep moving. This album is for those who don’t mind a good pint, a shot o’whiskey and an Irish brogue. [www.thetossers.com]
