This sampler includes 4 Czech bands, two bagpipes punk bands, an indie/alternative band using folk instruments and one Celtic Folk Rock band.

The first band is Benjaming Band, a true bagpipes punk band that I have really enjoyed. They sing in Czech and their website is in Czech too. Apparently, they have a long discography, but I feel that some of these recordings could be demos.

"Uvitacka" (11 tracks, 2002)
"Berlin" (9 tracks, 2003)
"Chlapi to Maj Tezky" (6 tracks, 2004)
"Palirna" (11 tracks, 2004)
"Svihak" (14 tracks, 2005)
"Americke Popelniky" (16 tracks, 2008)

The second band, Pilsner Oiquell, is an oi! band influenced by Dropkick Murphys that has added a piper to its line-up. The name of the band is based on a well-known Czech beer, Pilsner Urquell:

This band has covered some DKM and Real McKenzies songs.

"Zivot Je Boj" (14 tracks, 2001)
"Svata Pravda" (15 tracks, 2004)
"Zapal si Vlasy" (7 covers EP, 2006)

The next band is neither a Celtic Rock, nor a Celtic Punk band, but they use folk instruments (fiddle, banjo, accordion). The name of the band, Divokej Bill, means Wild Bill (Hycock). This band has a close relationship with the Levellers. They have played at the Levellers' Festival (Beautiful Days) and the Levellers have played at Divokej Bill's Festival. Besides, Divokej Bill has toured Great Britain with the Levellers. They have released some albums and two DVD.
