The Swaggerin' Growlers are a traditional Irish folk punk band based in Boston, Mass. Infusing the spirit and the tradition of Irish session players with the fire, intensity, and heart of Boston Punk and Hardcore, and tempered with the earnestness and soul of American Folk, TSG have created an unforgettable musical juggernaut. Most often compared to the likes of the Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers and The Dropkick Murphy's, but creating a sound all of their own, they strike to the heart of the New England music scene with an unparalleled fury. Over the last four years since the upstart of the band, TSG has gigged relentlessly, racking up 200+ shows in front of everyone from little kids and their grandparents, to the Public House, to hordes of street punks, while at the same time covering every New England state. Regardless of who was in the crowd, the bands' reception has always been incredibly enthusiastic to say the least, and more often than not...on the verge of total chaos. The bands' undeniably high energy brand of Irish folkpunk takes the crowd from pulse pounding, blast beat punk to heart felt, down tempo anthems and fight songs and back again. Read more on Last.fm.
