Reviews In Brief
I have to admit, I'm late to the party with Rum Sodomy and the Lash. I decided to dive into this considered classic because I was seeing them at Riotfest 2025, and man am I chastising myself. Shame on me. This is virtually a perfect melding of traditional Irish instrumentation with modern (80's) stylings that allow the step into the punk ring. The storytelling is honest and true, touching on stories of yore that places you exactly where the song is taking place. After seeing this live I ran to the nearest vinyl outlet to add to my collection.
