The Swaggerin' Growlers are a traditional Irish folk punk band based in Dover, New Hampshire and Boston, Mass. Infusing the spirit and the tradition of Irish session players with the fire, intensity, and heart of Boston Punk and Hardcore, and tempered with the earnestness and soul of American Folk, TSG have created an unforgetable musical juggernaut. Most often compared to the likes of the Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers and The Dropkick Murphy's, but creating a sound all of their own, they stike to the heart of the New England music scene with an unparalled fury.

The Growlers can fuse a traditional ballad with a spirited punk edge and deliver hard-stomping, strings-driven insanity. "Their traditional Irish Folk Punk" lyrics have an unexpected romance to them- the subjects is determined to face the end of the world, be it because of a broken heart or financial ruin, with a roar instead of a whimper. And they make a spirited case that the correct answer to all lifes troubles is another round, and maybe a spin (or a stumble) on the dance floor/ in the mosh pit, where a new love, or at least a brief escape from your troubles, is waiting- at least as long as the band holds out. The Swaggering Growlers create a wild, frenetic, energy that can't help but leave you happy until well after last call.

Because they have a full spectrum, melodic sound. When you hear them play live, they sound so tight, like a well oiled machine. It's rare that you see a band who's members are so in sync with each other. I love them!
