About the Band

"...An unashamedly topical wallop of the early-Seventies Jersey-bar E Street Band and the Combat Rock-era Clash, laced with the mourning siren of uilleann pipes." - Rolling Stone

Black 47 espouses an unblinkingly political and thoroughly Irish form of rock 'n' roll, with songs covering topics from the Northern Ireland conflict to civil rights and urban unrest in contemporary New York.

Black 47 earned their chops playing the pub scene in Manhattan and self-producing their first indie record, Black 47, before converting The Cars' Ric Ocasek to the cause and gaining mainstream attention with their second album.

NEW PRESS REVIEWS OF THE LATEST BLACK 47 RELEASE

"IRAQ eloquently and forcefully paints the war as tragic folly through character studies and vignettes that are both sobering and ferocious, boiling in the group’s olio of punk, reggae, folk, jazz and traditional Irish sounds – a blistering overview which injects black humor into harrowing tales of disillusioned soldiers on and off the battlefield. - USA Today"
