Blood or Whiskey is an Irish punk/folk band from Leixlip, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland. The band was formed in September 1993 taking strong influence from Shane MacGowan, as well as The Pogues and The Clash. The band originally had problems with their non-traditional music style among native Irish fans and released their first album Blood or Whiskey (Self Titled) in 1996. Several years of touring followed before the release of No Time to Explain which was followed by a tour of the USA.

Not a bad band, but not a patch on the Pogues or even the likes of Dropkick Murphys!

They remind me of a cross between Finntroll and Blood for Blood. I like the sound, but I can't stand it when voices sound that garbled behind stronger instruments... :-/

Saw them live when they lept off the stage and got into a fight with another band.
