Celtic Punk
Celtic Punk fuses the raw aggression, fast tempos, and rebellious attitude of punk rock with traditional Celtic folk music. It incorporates instruments like bagpipes, tin whistles, fiddles, and accordions alongside distorted electric guitars, bass, and drums to create high-energy, anthemic, and often rowdy musical compositions.
Origin: Ireland and UK, with strong Scottish influences and global Celtic diaspora adoption.
Era: Late 1970s to present, pioneered by bands like The Pogues in the 1980s.
