Album Notes

“You seriously need to check The Dirges out right now. To put it very blunt...They have a great f**ing sound.”... Paddy Rock Radio

An aggressive folk/punk hybrid, coined by the band as "AgFo", The Dirges rambunctious style of music and heartfelt working class lyrics turn the most ardent music critics into beer drinking dancing fools! The Dirges were so named in tribute to friends and family lost.
Don't hang your heads and cry just yet, they may well rile you into a frenzy before the tears begin to flow.
In a world where music is inundated with samples and pitch correction, The Dirges let the listener remember that there is beauty in the fallible nature of the human race and that blood still flows in the veins of rock-n-roll.
Formed in 2003, The Dirges have shared the stage with top bands including, Flogging Molly, The Briggs, Millencolin and Tyhe Young Dubliners. In September 2009 they’ll be enbarking on the first of many Southwest Tours
In the upcoming year listen for The Dirges in HBO’S “Vicious Circle”, MGM’s “Beach Kings”, And Boondock Saints 2
With the release of their second record “Widows Walk” the band has matured to find it’s own voice.
