Dave has an innate ability to know when to get excited and when to get to the heart of the matter. No other band can handle everything from punk to folk like Flogging Molly, and the fact that generations of fans have flocked to their live shows is a testament to their raison d'être. Dave says, "With this album, we've gone back to our roots in a way that I don't think we could have if we hadn't been playing together for 20 years."I think we've had a lot of fun back in Chicago and working with Steve on this record, and I believe you'll see that on this record." For Flogging Molly, getting together and playing new songs has always been the goal, and now we are excited to play these songs live and offer our fans a new era of Flogging Molly." ANTHEM is about the collective spirit that the band, and the world, has experienced over the past few years to push forward into the future." (2/2)
