"Bringing Irish Punk past The Pogues at last, a worthy contender for the Celtic punk crown is born!" ...Irish Voice, NYC

London-Irish band NECKs irrepressible Psycho-Ceilídh sound has matured over six years of furious global gigging. The 6-piece band juxtaposes, perfectly, the swirling, spiritual abandon of Traditional Irish music (fiddle, tin-whistle, banjo and Uilleann-pipes); with the rip-roaring, electric energy of a full-on Punk band! This is all topped-off with the raucous, passionate vocals of song-smith Leeson O'Keeffea man with the undeniable pedigree of having stood beside Shane MacGowan in The Popes, as well as having guested on banjo with The Alabama 3 - A3 in the U.S, of TVs The Sopranos fame.

NECKs up-lifting, rowdy live show has careered across Europe and the US: from Moscow to Nashville -& all points in between... hitting festival audiences square between the ears and raising new fans with every gig they have played, including with their U.S. contemporaries The Dropkick Murphys & Flogging Molly.

Bostons Irish punk radio station/web-zine/compilation album that revels in all things emerald and loud is named for the Neck tune, Shite & Onions and their "Psycho-Ceilídh" e.p. featured strongly in a New York's Irish Voice Top Ten releases chart which included U2 and Sinéad O'Connor! Also, their recent Anti-racist single 'Everybody's welcome to The Hooley!' charted in the UK Top 100 and Indie charts!

Make no mistake, with Irish-folk influenced punk bands appearing all over the world, there are definitely leaders & followers, & with their roots, understanding & command of the music, NECK are most certainly the real deal when it comes to proper Irish Folk-fuelled Punk! ---------------- Sláinte!
