Summerfly are great, they are an all-girl rebel band :P (they are somewhat hard to come by, though... I found them on soulseek).
Also, Athenrye, Shebeen, and (occasionally) Irish Brigade :)
EDIT: Charlie and The Bhoys have some good songs too, but some are about football ;)

I came across this site the other day when looking for something completely unrelated. It's pretty good.

Just remembered: there's a very nice double CD by Fighting Men from Crossmaglen. 'Down by the Liffey' side is one of the absolute favourites from that CD :D

chorus: Some say the Devil is dead
Devil is dead
Devil is dead
Some say the Devil is dead
And buried in Killarney.
I say he rose again
I say he rose again
I say he rose again
And joined the British Army.
