Flatfoot 56's third label-backed studio effort, Black Thorn, is a rollicking barrage of Celtic punk and folk-tinged hardcore straight from the streets of the South Side of Chicago. Produced by the Street Dogs' Johnny Rioux, Black Thorn tightly packs the quartet's eclectic and driving musical charge into thirteen tracks that celebrate the pride of the working class and their Chicago roots. As cathartic as it is ambitious, Black Thorn is an emphatic assault that remains vintage Flatfoot in its effortless combination of Celtic instrumentation and street corner punk rock. Bagpipes and mandolins remain just as vital as drums and guitars in defining Flatfoot's sound. The beautifully packaged digipak CD features an 8-panel insert and stunning artwork.

Flatfoot 56 has been playing brazen Celtic punk rock in the Chicago area since 2000. Now the band of three brothers (and a friend) are ready to whip the masses into a frenzy with their debut release Knuckles Up from Flicker Records. Guitars, drums, bagpipes and a mandolin fuel the band’s up front energy that reaches out and grabs even the sleepiest of cynics. With Flatfoot 56, standing in the back is not an option.

In what has been an unprecedented year for Flatfoot 56, the Southside Chicago band's 10 year anniversary has been marked by well-deserved milestones in celebration of the release of their brand new album Black Thorn from Old Shoe Records. Since the year 2000, the Chicago Celtic-Punk outfit has steadily unleashed a rollicking barrage of their hardcore/folk/punk fusion to audiences across the globe with intense and positive party-like energy. Produced by Johnny Rioux (Street Dogs), Black Thorn debuted at #2 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, in addition to healthy positions on eight other charts in its first week. The album tightly packs Flatfoot's eclectic and driving musical charge into thirteen tracks that celebrate the pride of the working class and their Chicago roots.

The style of music that is on "Rumble Of 56" is punk/alternative rock. The music is very lively and has been compared to music by artists such as, Jimmy Eat World, P.O.D, and The Hives. You will not be disappointed in this selection!
