Put up your dukes, boys and girls… Celtic punk group The Fisticuffs is making its way to the Rock Band Network via RockGamer Studios.

If you’re a fan of The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly, you’ll want to check out the Irish-folk inspired group from Chicago.

Their music — according to singer Bobby Baldwin’s blurb on their MySpace page — “is similar to an Irish wake mixed with a soccer riot, containing lyrics about hard work, family, heritage at home and abroad, a great many sins, and life on the South Side of Chicago.”

Utilizing a wide array of instruments including drums, electric guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, violin, harmonica, and washboard, has allowed the band to fuse many different musical stylings into a sound unmistakably their own.

The Fisticuffs’ first contribution to RBN will be their rendition of the classic sea shanty “Liverpool Judies” (or “Row, Bullies, Row”), from their 2008 album Neatly Stumblin’.

“All of us are really excited to be part of RBN, and hope our high energy Irish punk is well received,” said “Fat Tony” Dellorto, drummer for The Fisticuffs.
