As tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, we here at KRCX have decided to give some lovin' to a great Celtic rock band.

Black 47 hails from the Bronx in good ol' New York City.  While often being described as solely Celt-rock, they also include a fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and jazz among other things.  Additionally, Black 47 is known for their powerful political views expressed through their music.

Bankers and Gangsters is another notch in the belt of a great career for Black 47.  The album is incredibly diverse within both its sound and content.

Cruise on over to their myspace to hear some of the new jams or click below and watch a classic video from Black 47.

Mumford and Sons are a indie-folk band from the England who have just released their debut album.  Gaining popularity fast, Mumford and Sons are selling out venues all over Europe even playing on David Letterman. They will be stopping at major festivals like Bonaroo and Sasquatch in the upcoming summer. 

Los Angeles band Local Natives first starting receiving attention after 2009's SXSW Festival where they soon had the internet abuzz.  Their SXSW show paid off with their sights now set on the UK music industry, in which they first released Gorilla Manor last fall.  They will debut the album on Frenchkiss Records stateside on February 16.

Local Natives' debut album (under the current name) is enjoyable from beginning to end.  Their first single from Gorilla Manor is "Sun Hands" starts out with quiet, sweet sounding harmonies and builds until it explodes into raw emotion.  Similar to the rest of the album, "Sun Hands" is just too easy to get stuck in your head.

Beach House's newest album, Teen Dream, dropped officially on January 26th but suffered a very early leak in November.  Regardless, the album (which was their first released with Sub Pop) has lived up to the hype of the blogosphere.  The dreamy pop of Teen Dream returns with what has been described as "60's style songcraft and 80's style synths."

Check out the Pitchfork performance of "Norway" below.

Hailing from Detroit, Zoos of Berlin are a band that appropriately represents their home town.  As a band manifestation of their own local music scene, Zoos of Berlin incorporate vastly diverse sounds.  A mixture of punk, pop, experimental, afrobeat, and jazz, Taxis offers a very pleasing ride through spacey, atmospheric soundscapes.
