Originally formed in 1996, The Killdares have come to be known as one of the
hottest, cutting edge bands in music today – Celtic or otherwise.
World-class musicians from all over the U.S., they have come together in
Texas to create and perform a brand new version of hard-driving, alternative
Celtic rock music.
Blending traditional Celtic playing skills, power-pop accessibility, and
straight up rock n' roll hooks, The Killdares have created a fresh new sound
that's blended with enough commercial edge to be instantly recognizable,
always engaging, and appealing to fans of all ages. Their live shows are
filled with an infectious energy so powerful that it has been known to move
people to tears. Even die-hard fans of purely traditional Celtic music have
embraced the band's powerful genre-bending sound. Expanding the
definition of "Celtic", the band uses the unconventional pairing of
screaming, fire-driven fiddle and bagpipes with the wail of electric guitar,
bass and drums to create brilliant arrangements of traditional tunes and
original compositions. This distinctive sound combined with the band's
incredible stage presence is nothing short of awesome.
