Black 47 is recognized as the premier Irish-American rock group, having paved the way for the explosion of bands such as Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys. Bankers and Gangsters celebrates their 20th year on the road. The title track is a humorous, if acidic, comment on the current financial crisis in inimitable Black 47 fashion. Opening track "Long Hot Summer Comin" On" comes out blazing in New York memories of CBGB"s and Lester Bangs among others. Bankers and Gangsters is vintage Black 47 - uproarious, tuneful, challenging, current and above all, entertaining.
