Seminal punk band The Mahones, pioneers of the Irish punk genre, and heroes of DIY punk rockers everywhere, are thrilled to present the first part of their epic double album, The Hunger & The Fight. A concept double album, this is the first of its kind in the Irish punk genre, and a landmark album for The Mahones, as it coincides with their upcoming 25th anniversary. From an Irish pub to an Academy Award winning movie: The Mahones have come a long way in 24 years! Internationally recognized as one of the best and hardest working punk outfits around, The Mahones formed on St. Patrick's Day in 1990, and have been working on their own brand of Irish punk ever since. The Hunger & The Fight narrates the struggle and perseverance of the Irish people, and the evolution of Irish music from Irish Folk to Irish Punk. It's The Mahones finest work yet, and includes guest appearances from rock heavyweights Simon Townshend (The Who), Tara Slone (joydrop), Dave Baksh (Sum 41) and Tony Duggins (The Tossers).
