The Langer’s Ball has been performing since 2007, with their first album release in 2008, they were hailed as "...A Band To Watch" by PaddyRock.com. And watch people did! Called “The Punk Rock Pogues”, their brand of Irish Punk music has been described as “Straight ahead, no-frills Irish ballads with just a hint of razor blades, safety pins and American rock 'n' roll". Their latest full-length album, The Devil or the Barrel, earned them a top spot on virtually every Irish music writer, podcaster & bloggers best Irish Punk or Celtic Rock CD's of 2012 list. As a reviewer in London says about TLB “Showing no signs of stopping or slowing down…put your best dancing shoes on because The Langer’s Ball are in town and there’s no excuse for sitting down. (TLB) are swigging Jameson’s and writing some of the best Celtic punk you may ever listen to.”
