Punk rock was started in the Seventies with bands like  the Sex Pistols, the Misfists , and  Black Flag. The first punk bands were in the UK and it quickly spread to the  United States. Punk rock clothing apexes in the Eighties. Punk Rock then took a break in-between the racist white people with shaved heads scene and the vintage punk rock days. These racist with shaved heads were known as Skinheads, they often wore punk rock clothing  and used music to spread their disgusting messages of hatred. Meanwhile the vintage punk followers maintained a positive message of goodwill and disrespect for authority.

Currently there are many different sounds that encompass punk music. Punk is an attitude, no a specific sound, its really about how the bands deliver their anti-authorial message.

Flogging Molly  got their name from a bar where they use to play called Molly Malone’s in LA. They played there every Monday night and felt like they were being flogged to death. Flogging in their terms means to be beaten severely with a whip or strap. Their founder and front man, Dave King, formerly guitarist for 80′s hair band Fastway, pulled together some of his friends in 1993 which in turn was the beginning of Flogging Molly. Their lineup today is as follows: Dave King – lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Bridget Regan – fiddle and background vocals, Dennis Casey – guitars and vocals, Matt Hensley (former pro skate boarder) – accordion and concertina, Nathan Maxwell – bass and vocals, Bob Schmidt – mandolin and banjo, George Schwindt – drums and percussion.
