Hard rock song with an irish theme?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I was listening to the radio a few days ago and heard a hard rock song with an Irish theme to it. Since it was on the radio, I'm assuming it was somewhat new (last 2-3 years).

Any ideas on what it might have been?

 

[Platypus]

It was probably punk, not hard rock, and it was probably Flogging Molly.

Slade - Run Run Away has a scottish theme to it.

 

[Platypus]

Possibly could have been the new White Stripes song Icky Thump that has a weird Irish jig type octavia-fuzz guitar breakdown but again not really hard rock.

 

[MrChad]

Carbon Leaf has an Irish-folksy sound to it. They had a semi-hit with "The Boxer" a few years ago.

What were the vocals like? Irish sounding?

I'd be very surprised to hear DM on the radio though they definitely fit the bill

I'm guessing it could be a Dropkick Murphys song. The one from The Departed is "I'm Shipping Up to Boston".

Flogging Molly was it, but it sounds pretty lame now compared to what I thought I heard. I thought I had heard some really nice hard rock that had a touch of an irish theme to it... oh well

Edit: I'll listen to the other guesses as well, hoping somehow that it was one of those and that they're better

Yeah, I'm in Little Massachusetts (also known as Tampa Bay) and thats the only song from DM people around here know.

And The Departed kicked ass. I've officially forgiven Leo for Titanic.

I just watched it two days ago. I agree with that statement. He's redeemed himself.

It took the Departed combined with Blood Diamond for me to forgive him.

He was good in Catch Me If You Can. I haven't seen Blood Diamond yet.

It was probably FNX. Back then FNX would pay anything new to break themselves away from other stations. Those days have sadly passed, however

Actually, those are the 3 movies combined that made me change my mind about him. The second half of Blood Diamond was insane, he was pretty much a badass throughout that whole part of the movie.
