The Swaggerin' Growlers Message Board

The Swaggerin' Growlers are a riot folk band. We play on Acoustic Guitars and Mandolins, Overamplified, too drunk, too loud, and fucking proud. We started with a love for the Pogues and old Irish Folk, then discovered Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie, and grew up with fucking Bonston Hardcore Punk. What you see is what you get- No Apologies. No Remorse. No Regrets. Grab another drink and lets tear shit up and maybe make a difference.

Ní neart go cur le chéile.
There is no strength without unity.

PS: If you're a nazi or racist scumbag, go fuck yourself. You're part of the fucking problem. We actively oppose everything you fucking stand for.

Turn It Down

We are avid readers of:

And we also do silly things to promote ourselves, the cheap whores we are:
