The Zydepunks, Finisterre (Nine Mile Records): Like if the Pogues were from Louisiana, except not really. Zydeco, really fast, with big and obvious melodies. "Dear Molly" is okay. They're playing Barley's on Saturday.
Young Dubliners, Saints and Sinners (429 Records): Big arena-ready hard pub rock with, unfortunately, fiddle and mandolin. Title track's not so much Celtic rock 'n' roll, as they describe themselves, as Catholic rock 'n' roll. Songs about booze, childhood friends, and love gone bad. hat do you want me to say? Go buy some Thin Lizzy instead.
