Fergus are a contemporary Irish traditional and folk group out of Worcester (pronounced Wooster locally) Massachusetts. Defiantly not Celtic punk and not even with the pretense of being Celtic rock but still with oodles of energy. So, if you’re looking for beautifully played contemporary Irish music this won't disappoint and finally something of class coming out of Wooster!
Continental is the new band from Rick Barton (a founding member of the Dropkick Murphys and one of their main song writers on the 1st couple of releases). They recently played in Boston with The Mahones and they are frigging A-OK! If you like classy street punk in the vein of DKMs Do or Die then check 'em out. They are on the up coming Street Dogs / Flatfoot 56 tour.

Irish Stew of Sindidun all the way from Serbia (that's some where beyond Cavan folks....??) have entered the studio to record a third album. The new CD will feature 11original songs and 2 instrumentals. The new album will be released early 2011.
irishrock.org is a really good resource if you're interested in Irish punk and rock from the 70s and especially the 80s - but after reading the bio of Black 47s, Larry Kirwan, I'm left wondering what the hell did poor Larry do to the irishrock.org scribe 'cos boy did he ever do some hit job on poor ol' Larry. Maybe he is a relative of the infamous Bridie from Funky Ceili?
The BibleCodeSundays are obviously the kick of the day and it's got nothing to do with the hope of Andy casting me as the leading man in Clan London or Ronan sending me his solo CD. Anyway, to further the kick here is video for "Maybe It's Because I'm An Irish Londoner". It the first time I've seen it and it real high quality.
I wish I could has claimed to have found The Kilmaine Saints but I didn't! They found me when they mailed me a copy of their debut CD, "The Good, The Plaid and The Ugly". The Saints are an Irish-American, punk-rock band based out of PA and I would liken them to The PubCrawlers, Pipes and Pints, CCS, AC/DC and Dropkick Murphys of course - loud and rockin' with loads of gang vocals and heavy on the bagpipes along with some Thin Lizzy-ish harmony guitar solos for good measure. Defiantly a strong debut and a band to keep an eye-on in the future.
Ronan MacManus of the BibleCodeSundays has just released his 1st solo album - Strawberry Hill - and though he is joined by various members of the BibleCodes from what I've heard the music is more in tune with the brother - the artist formally known as Declan MacManus (check out the glasses in the video, if that isn't a family resemblance then I don't know what is). Hopefully we get a review up shortly (ie Ronan send me the CD).
