[Free Download] Flogging Molly “Don’t Shut ‘Em Down”

Not long ago, a vivacious and dedicated Celtic-punk band would terrorize the L.A. pub Molly Malone’s every Monday night.

Word spread of this weekly rock event, and the band gained enough support and likeability that they were signed to SideOneDummy Records soon afterwards.  The band goes by Flogging Molly, honoring the pub’s service and dedication providing countless Monday nights of intense Irish punk-rock.

Flogging Molly will release their fourth studio album Don’t Shut ‘Em Down on March 24th, and we’ve got the first single under the same title for FREE download.

Flogging Molly are beloved by punk-rock enthusiasts, but for casual music listeners this may be the first time you’ve heard of them.  KROQ has long been a fan of these guys, playing their single “Drunken Lullabies” in years past.  Check it out below.

And here is the new single “Don’t Shut ‘Em Down”
