The Whiskey of The Damned might be hailing from Milwaukee, WI, but they certainly do have an Irish heart thanks to frontman Eoin McCarthy as well as to the distinct Celtic influences within the band’s blend of rock music.
The band’s up-tempo folk/rock hybrid sound reminds us of bands such as Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphy’s, but unlike these acts, the Milwaukee combo leans more towards the folky side, allowing their raw energy to shine through the song arrangements even without walls of electric guitar.
