Flogging Molly is an Irish-American Celtic punk band formed in Los Angeles in 1997 and led by singer Dave King.

Lead singer Dave King is from Dublin and previously fronted the band Fastway. The band blends traditional Irish instruments (fiddle, flute, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion) with punk rock; early records were released on SideOneDummy Records.

Three DeBaser reviews assess Flogging Molly's albums as energetic, Celtic-infused punk with growing maturity. Reviewers highlight instrumentation (fiddle, banjo, bouzouki) and Dave King's distinct vocals. Albums frequently recommended: Within a Mile of Home, Float, Speed of Darkness.

For:Fans of Celtic-influenced punk and folk punk; listeners of high-energy pub rock and fans of Dropkick Murphys / The Pogues.

 It's essentially from this rejection that the Flogging Molly are born: Dave King isn't one to easily give up, and together with his future wife Bridget Regan and other unknown musicians, he starts again from a pub in Los Angeles, Molly's Malone, managing after a few years to secure a contract with SideOneDummy Records.

 Flogging Molly confirms themselves as the strongest exponents, along with the Dropkick Murphys, of a genre launched 20 years ago by the Pogues and once again brought to public attention in the last ten years, which they continue to interpret in an original way.
