Yes, we here at The Modern Age are well aware that technically St. Patrick's Day was moved to be outside of the last week of Lent. But any way, here's a nice little track for the Irish amongst us.
The group is called Eire Og and they are quite possibly the most radical Irish Republican group still making music today. They fall into the same genre of music as groups like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, but they do far far more than the usual drinking songs, covers and fist-pumping that sometimes mar the beauty of Celt-punk.
"Amhran na bhFiann" is a live acoustic performance of the national anthem of the Republic of Ireland. The lyrics are in Irish but a reasonable translation can be found on Wikipedia.
Eire Og - Amhran na bhFiann
Enjoy.
