A bunch of great Celtic rock bands have been mentioned in this thread, but here's 3 bands I haven't seen anyone mention. EVERYONE WHO LIKES CELTIC ROCK NEEDS TO GIVE THESE BANDS A LISTEN!!!
I can't believe nobody has mentioned BLACK 47. This New York band has been ripping it up for over 10 years. They're unblinkingly political, thoroughly Irish & uncompromisingly Rock'n'Roll. Check 'em out at - http://www.black47.com/
Another excellent Celtic Rock band that has obviously gone unnoticed by the members of this fine community is CEILI RAIN. Not a hard rockin' outfit, but they incorporate Celtic influences with Rock music better than most any other band I've heard with excellent songwriting (often with a sense of humor & subtle Christian worldview). Give a listen to 'em at - http://ceilirain.com/
And a new group I just came across recently that I'm really enjoying the more I listen to 'em is NEED FIRE - http://www.needfire.com
Finally, here's another really cool Celtic music podcast site - http://www.celticmusicnews.com
A quality mix of rockin' & more traditional Celtic music

I can't believe that no one has mentioned The Tossers or Flatfoot 56 yet! Both of them can be found on Myspace... Just go to my page and look in my friends!
