Electric President – Safe and Sound

Electric President is made up of Ben Cooper and Alex Kane, both natives of Jacksonville, Florida.

FLOGGING MOLLY – Live at the Greek Theatre

In the print version of Verbicide, I once declared that Flogging Molly were the best active punk band in the world. I stand by that, although I probably don’t listen to quite enough punk anymore to judge. However, Flogging Molly are now in the most treacherous phase of a punk band’s career: maturing. Somehow already 13 years...
