BAND OF THE MONTH - CRAIC


The band of the month is Craic. Their EP "It's Still New Enough That It's Forgivable" is so good that they deserve to be featured as band of the month.

"The American-Irish Punk Band Craic, named for the Gaelic term meaning interesting banter & good company including music & good drink, takes traditional Irish music and turns it into an energy driven, fist pumping, “in your face” good time. Craic is full of a wide diversity of influence which makes the talent of the band stand out, from the beautiful sounds of the tin whistle, to the plucky hollow, bright, incisive clarity of the banjo, to the rich deep sound of the 12 string guitar, to the lusterous, sweet, clear fiddle, all backed up by drums, bass and the distortion of the electric guitar. Topped off with the wailing voices of all, you’ll surely enjoy the full-body sound of Craic."
