During August 2013 they supported a tour by the Real McKenzies , with BMA ‘ s Rory McCartney observing, “[their] fusion of punk with bagpipes, kilts, tin whistles, and even a mandolin might seem an odd mix… [however] the five-piece has had 13 different members over the years. Touring takes its toll on families and the band has a revolving line-up.” McCartney reflected on the group’s song writing, “Like its sound, the band’s lyrical material has also been heavily influenced by the members’ heritage. Keenan’s parents were very left-leaning. This made him serious about music and wanting to leave a legacy people could connect to, one that rises above popular culture.”
