The Prodigals

"Though often billed as a Celtic punk band (a la Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys), the Prodigals actually favor more nuanced rock, highlighted by leader Gregory Grene’s mellifluous and wide-ranging vocals. Unlike many in their subgenre, they’re also first-rate songsmiths."

"What the Ramones might have sounded like if they’d taken traditional Irish music as their starting point"

"Gregory Grene's original songs stay true to the style and tone of old, yet speak to modern life, in some of the most well-crafted and poetic verses I have seen"

" The best funky-Celtic-folksters doing the rounds...wholly inspirational."

"Coming on like an American Oysterband, they kick up the dust in thoroughly convincing fashion."

"Grene's expertise on accordion and his understanding of Irish music elevates the group as one of the premier Celtic rock bands leading into the 21st century"

""Big Apple cockiness fused with traditional tunes wends its way back home, as New York's answer to The Pogues lands on solid ground. Having detoured to Chicago (via Cavan) these boys' navigation skills leave nothing to chance. Gregory Grene's accordion calls many of the shots, fueled by the kind of percussive force that NASA would pay dearly for....Swivel the amp right up to eleven and submit to the manic rhythms."
