The Complete Control Sessions
is a six track live EP originally released solely on itunes, before it became
available on Amazon. Strictly considered an online album, it includes ‘Float’
and ‘Requiem For a Dying Song’, which were considered two of their unreleased
tracks. They’ve seen appeared on 2008’s Float.
An American-Irish punk
band, Flogging Molly’s themes references range from the Roman Catholic Church,
to themes of defiance.
Complete Control
highlights Flogging Molly at their finest live: as a seven piece punk band infused
with Celtic instruments, Fiddles and lead vocalist David King’s gravelly voice.
Flogging Molly’s ability to infuse fiddles with punk rock would astound many,
but it’s why they stand apart from the many other punk rock bands in the mix.
Many fans of Flogging
Molly will recognize Devil’s Dance Floor (from Swagger) and ‘Whistles The
Wind’, ‘Factory Girls’ and ‘Tobacco Island’ from Within A Mile From Home.
To hear them performed
live and in acoustic style is a delight not to be missed, in particularly the
rambunctious gig ‘Devil’s Dance Floor’ and ‘Factory Girl’s’.
A fine introduction to
Celtic-punk for those who have never sampled it.
