BAND OF THE MONTH - THE CLAN

The Band of March 2014 hail from Muggiò, near Milan (Italy): The Clan. They have just released a demo. All the songs are standards, but I'm looking forward to listening some original stuff from this band.

"The Clan - Irish rock band from Milan formed in September 2013 from musicians coming from different musical projects but with the same deep love for Ireland and its unique sound.

They are clearly influenced by the major exponents of this genre, as Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, The Rumjacks, The Pogues and The Dubliners. They play covers, reinterpreted traditional Irish song and unreleased tracks.

They are now working on their first album
