Anyone listen to them....I mean when it comes to celtic punk it seems most people know of Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, but I have to prefer the bloody tossers because they are awesome.

I've heard of them :D they're not amazing tho.
If you can find me a "The Tossers" song better then "Floggin' Molly - Drunken Lullabies" and" Dropkick Murphys - Johnny I hardly knew ya" then I'd consider listening to more of them XD

When it comes to Irish punk Floggin' Molly and Dropkick Murphys destroy the scene always have and always will.

Yeah I know those bands are awesome....I was joking about preferring The Tossers, they're just another that I like, and I heard a song of theirs last night on my last.fm so I had to see who else has heard them or wants to.

I discovered them in 2004 or 2005 and think they are pretty awesome. They sound more like traditional or the Pogues than Dropkick Murphys which I don't like so much.

I love Irish & Celtic music full stop, not just Irish punk! The Tossers are f-cking brilliant!

bands like Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Blood & Whiskey etc. are great (I have all their albums & I've seen them live many times) but none of those bands compares to The Dubliners, The Pogues, Chieftains or The Clancy Brothers IMHO
