Celtic rock band 1916 has just unleashed their new single, “The Mollies,” available now via TLG | ROCK, distributed by Virgin Music Group. The track marks the first taste of the band’s forthcoming album. Produced by the acclaimed Ted Hutt, “The Mollies” comes to life with an infectious energy reminiscent of the early days of Celtic punk.
Frontman Billy Herring shares, "This new song is not only super catchy, but it's super personal as well. Basically it's a story told to me by my grandfather when I was young. So there's this family connection that makes songs like these so great to listen to on a very basic level. Our producer Ted loved this song right from the jump and we are all stoked that this is going to be our first single!"
"Reminding me of the spirit of early days of Flogging Molly, it was a total blast working with Billy and the gang at the magical Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX. Irish whiskey, history lessons, stories, and vintage guitars were the backdrop for the sessions that became the new 1916 album. There was a first for me too, which was the challenge of recording a massive Celtic war pipe," says Ted Hutt, the band's Producer.
“The Mollies” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
