Sit down, grab some haggis, and take a look at these five notable Celtic rock bands below.
The Scottish highland pipes are the loudest, played standing, usually in pipe bands. Arm pressure on the bag sends air through a reed on a fingered chanter which makes the sound. The basic instrument has a bag of air, inflated by blowing through a blowpipe. If you need another push, let me remind you of a little British band called Mumford & Sons - they explore a traditional folksy sound, utilizing banjo, mandolin, dobro and even accordion, yet they still made it to number two on the Billboard 200 chart. Several forms of bagpipe are used in celtic music.
Some bands have even ventured into mainstream success, like Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys (“ Shipping Up to Boston” exploded when it essentially became the theme song for The Departed), or like The Pogues, inspired countless bands outside their genre, proving that the audience for Celtic rock goes beyond Hibernophiles. If you haven't heard a lot about the genre, you shouldn't write it off many Irish-inspired punk and rock groups have decade-spanning careers and die-hard fan bases. Ockhams Razor is a Seattle based Celtic fusion band that blends influences of Celtic and Irish tradition with rock, pop, gypsy, punk, jazz, bluegrass. In fact, I'd bet that some of you reading this aren't 100 percent sure what Celtic rock is, so here's the gist: it's a blending of traditional Irish and Scottish music which utilizes bagpipes, fiddles, tin whistle and other Celtic instruments with modern rock melodies. If there’s one musical genre that doesn’t get a whole lot of media attention, it’s Celtic rock.
