Irish show

This week's show was by request! A couple of weeks ago one of my listeners was disappointed I didn't play Irish artists in honor of St. Patrick's Day, so here's an entire show highlighting the best underground Irish rock. Until I made this playlist, I hadn't really noticed how many of my favorite artists were from Ireland, or even that some of them were Irish to begin with!
