Paranoid Visions are Ireland’s longest serving punk band.
There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Mutiny is a band formed by Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey after he left Funkadelic when George Clinton's mothership splintered at the end of the 1970s.Jerome Brailey and Glen Goins were working on the concept of Mutiny when Glen's untimely death occured in 1978. Jerome Brailey continue on with the vision and formed the group Mutiny, which performed in a style which is similar to the classic P-Funk style with a lot of emphasis place on the dual lead guitar work.
There appear to have been at least two groups called The Outcasts. For the Northern Irish punk band: Belfast, Ireland (1977 – present)
The Outcasts were formed in June 1977 in Belfast by the three Cowan brothers, Greg Cowan (vocals / bass), Martin Cowan (guitar/vocals), Colin Cowan (drums) and their friend Colin ‘Getty’ Getgoog (guitar), playing their first gig two months later. ‘You’re A Disease’ / ‘Don’t Want To Be No Adult’ / ‘Frustration’ (It, 1978) is easily the roughest sounding early Outcasts single, ‘You’re A Disease’ stands out as the best track.
Blood or Whiskey formed in Kildare (IE) in 1995 as an irish folk / punk crossover band, similar to The Pogues. Their first two albums were also heavily influenced by them. In 2003 lead singer Barney Murray left the band. Vocal duties were taken over by guitarist Dugs Mulhooly. Untill 2005 they underwent alot of line up changes, leaving Dugs and Chris (drums) as the only original member. In 2005 they released their third album "Cashed Out On Culture", which had more of a punk-edge than their former two.

Irishman Mr. Irish Bastard, or that f@@@ing bastard, as he is fondly known to friend and foe alike, writes drink-drenched songs that capture the spirit of the country and the raw energy of his punk roots. It's rough, it's dirty and it's straight from the heart. The boys and girl have released "St. Mary's School of Drinking" and "The Bastard Brotherhood" in February 2008. The band is now going to hit the road, drink, party...
