(From the band's Facebook)
"The Scally Cap Brats formed in the summer of 2010 out of a chance meeting between Mike Pusiak and Mike McWhiskey. They quickly discovered a mutual love for Punk, Oi and Celtic music which led to talk about starting a band. They got together in Mike Pusiak's basement, and quickly began writing songs and learning a few traditional tunes. Soon Kevin Grace was added on drums, and practices moved to his basement. A couple months passed before the lineup was complete with the addition of Katherine Maziec on bass.
Since their formation, The Scally Cap Brats have had one goal: To make honest music for regular people and have a fun time doing it. There are no gimmicks or theatrics, just a love for music and a desire to share that love with all who come to their shows. The influence of bands such as Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys is evident on songs such as "The Scally Cap Brat" and "Take a Shot" yet just as much appreciation is owed to the bands and artists of yesterday such as The Dubliners, Wolfe Tones, and Stan Rogers.
