Banjo? Check. Tin Whistle? Double check. Banjo? Triple check. Ohio’s Craic definitely have all the instruments necessary to form a solid Celtic punk act but can they write solid songs and actually play those instruments? The answer is a resounding, “Hell yeah, they can!” The proof is the band’s debut EP “It’s Still New Enough That It’s Forgivable,” which you can stream right here.

Band Spotlight
When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here. -
