Irish Punk/Ska

[happydapy]

Does anyone know of any Irish Punk Christian bands or of any Christian Ska bands?
I'm trying to phase most secular music from my playlists and I really like Irish Punk and Ska and would like to replace the songs I have with better themed songs.

The only Irish punk I can think of is Flatfoot 56.
As far as ska is concerned, there's the big three: Five Iron Frenzy, The O.C. Supertones, and The Insyderz. Some smaller (mostly defunct) ones are The 13th Tribe, buckledown, The Skadaddles, Not For The Crowd, Freeto Boat, and BUCK.

Flatfoot 56 and possibly Blackjack.
Old Squad Five-O is ska-ish.

I don't know of any Christian bands that fit that description, but the Dropkick Murphys covered Amazing Grace.

I haven't heard of Irish punk before, but I do know alot of ska-punk and ska bands from back in the day. Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy were the longest living so you should be able to find their stuff pretty easily. BUCK who was known as BUCK Enterprises in their last few years. Flight 180 was one of my favorites. the Insyderz became famous for their Skalleuia! cds. Other good names: Mayfair Lundry, Honeylocust, B.O.B. [Bunch of Believers]. and tons & tons of their small ska bands that use to be around but I doubt you find their stuff these days.

There's also a band called Calebretto (sp?) 13. I'm not quite sure if they're ska or not... it's been awhile since I've heard the cd. But, nonetheless, great band! xD

Not ska. They're acoustic.

Flatfoot 56 is decent for a kind of celtic punk sound. Better than them was Ballydowse (who's cds are impossible to find at Christian Bookstores now, but should be readily availible online)... who released two cds.

There was also the Electrics, though they were kind of cheesy.

LOL - That was all that came to mind when I saw the OP.

Ballydowse was alright. Not my favorite, though.

Calibretto 13 was known as acoustic punk.
