We are a five member celtic rock band from and around the mountains of Western North Carolina.
The origins of this band was started with a desire to escape the various forms of music we were all involved in. We all had an overwhelming need to be part of a band that was truly different and special.
Influenced by such ground-breaking bands like Seven Nations and Enter the Haggis, we set out to play celtic music that also included our personal tastes. In our music, you're likely hear influences that range from Toto to Bowling For Soup and all points in between. Mix in the haunting sounds of traditional celtic instruments like, the Highland bagpipes, whistles, flute, mandolin and other instruments of the like, and what you get is The Hooligans. We also have included some of the celtic influenced pop music from the 80's.
