About this project
The two biggest influences on The Gobshites are the Ramones and The Pogues. Who would have thought that we'd get a chance to have members of each of those bands want to record with us? We are thrilled for this opportunity! So, we'll be headed off to Ireland in November with Richie Ramone (of the Ramones) to meet up with Cait O'Riordan (of The Pogues) to record our new CD which we are calling - The Whistle Before The Snap. We can't wait!
Thank you in advance for making this happen.
All The Best

The Gobshites - The Only Folk 'n' Irish Band That Matters!
The Gobshites are an acoustic Irish themed folk-punk band in the style of The Pogues crossed with the Ramones!
Our line up includes Vocals, Guitar, Fiddle, Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Tin Whistle, Bouzouki and Accordion.
You may have seen us these past years in the South Boston Saint Patrick's Day Parade or heard us on the Don Imus Radio Show. We have played The Shamrock Fest in DC, The Providence Fleadh, multiple Harpoon Brewery Festivals, The Boston Irish Festival, The Irish Heritage Festival in Dorchester and Irish 2000 in Albany .
We have opened for many Irish acts including Black 47, The Tossers, Gaelic Storm, The Young Dubliners, 7 Nations, Derek Warfield, Stiff Little Fingers and The Street Dogs.
You'll find we straddle between Folk, Irish and Rock in such a way that our appeal crosses many generations. It's not uncommon to see Grandparents singing along to the same songs as their Grandchildren at a Gobshites show!
We have recently released two new CD’s:
Songs Me Da Got Pissed To– Irish Standards done The Gobshites Way!
Poitín – A collection of Gobshites out-takes, B-Sides, Compilation tracks, demo’s and more!
We will be recording a new CD of original material this coming November with Richie Ramone of The Ramones on Drums and Cait O'Riordan of The Pogues on Bass!

...They Said What?
"The Gobshites are a gifted bunch of merrymakers, who will put a smile on your face and make you want to sing along" Tommy Ramone - RAMONES/Uncle Monk
"The Gobshites live are a churning martini of Good songs and Bad intentions"
Larry Kirwan - Black 47
“The Gobshites version of "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" is awesome. They made it their own, which is what I look for in an artist.
One of the best versions ever“
... Richie Ramone - RAMONES
THE GOBSHITES TAKE IRISH MUSIC AND GIVE IT A FIRM TWIST!
In The "tradition" of The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, The Gobshites might turn an old Irish standard into a rock and roll rave up...but turnabout being fair play, The Gobshites turn the tables and transform old punk rock songs like Black Flag's "Six Pack" or the Ramones "Long Way Back" into Irish sing-alongs!
