Flogging Molly-The Complete Control Sessions
Record Label: SideOneDummy Records
Year: 2007
Track Listing:
01. Requiem For A Dying Song
02. Whistles The Wind
03. Tobacco Island
04. Factory Girls
05. Float
06. Devil’s Dance Floor
The Complete Control Sessions is a six track live EP originally released solely on itunes, before it became available on Amazon. Strictly considered an online album, it includes ‘Float’ and ‘Requiem For a Dying Song’, which were considered two of their unreleased tracks. They’ve seen appeared on 2008’s Float.
An American-Irish punk band, Flogging Molly’s themes references range from the Roman Catholic Church, to themes of defiance.
Complete Control highlights Flogging Molly at their finest live: as a seven piece punk band infused with Celtic instruments, Fiddles and lead vocalist David King’s gravelly voice. Flogging Molly’s ability to infuse fiddles with punk rock would astound many, but it’s why they stand apart from the many other punk rock bands in the mix.
Many fans of Flogging Molly will recognize Devil’s Dance Floor (from Swagger) and ‘Whistles The Wind’, ‘Factory Girls’ and ‘Tobacco Island’ from Within A Mile From Home.
To hear them performed live and in acoustic style is a delight not to be missed, in particularly the rambunctious gig ‘Devil’s Dance Floor’ and ‘Factory Girl’s’.
A fine introduction to Celtic-punk for those who have never sampled it.
I give it 4/5
