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.
