The Gobshites are a Celtic punk band from Boston MA USA. Formed in 2002 by Peter Walsh, their music has been compared with the Pogues and Black 47, but is more a reversed version: instead of taking Irish songs and punking them up, they take punk songs and 'Irish' them up; for example, in their hands The Ramones's Long Way Back To Germany becomes Long Way Back To Ireland with a fiddle jig incorporated.

  • The Gobshites are a Celtic punk band from Boston MA USA. Formed in 2002 by Peter Walsh, their music has been compared with the Pogues and Black 47, but is more a reversed version: instead of taking Irish songs and punking them up, they take punk songs and 'Irish' them up; for example, in their hands The Ramones's Long Way Back To Germany becomes Long Way Back To Ireland with a fiddle jig incorporated. In 2005 they released their first full-length CD When The Shite Hits The Fans, and also appear on What the Shite? - Shite 'n' Onions Vol. 2. In 2007, their second and third albums "Another Round" and "Get Bombed" were released. The band has performed all over the Northeast United States, appearing at Irish pubs and rock clubs, as well as Shamrockfest in Washington, DC, the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade, and Irish2000 Festival in Upstate New York. They've appeared with Black 47, Gaelic Storm, and Tommy Ramone, among many other acts. They are currently working on their fourth release, "Songs Me Da' Got Pissed To," an album of traditional Irish songs and tunes.
