The Tossers

They’re as talented and edgy as they come… The Tossers are a group of Irish musicians specializing in Celtic-Irish punk, where heavy guitars rub shoulders with accordions and traditional Irish instruments.

Angry Irish punk

It all began in 1990, when a few Irish friends went on a pub crawl to play a few tunes and get a few beers for free.

The band soon enjoyed success, and took the name “The Tossers”. They began touring with such Irish punk greats as Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

Over the course of their career, the band underwent several changes of musicians. In any case, here are the various musicians who once composed The Tossers:

Tony Duggins – Vocals and Mandolin
Dan Shaw – Bass and Accordion
Aaron Duggins – Tin Whistle
Brian Dwyer – Guitar (since deceased)
Clay Hansen – Banjo (no longer with the band)
Mike Pawula – Guitar
Rebecca Manthe – Violin
Bones – Drums
Lynn Bower – Vocals (no longer with the band)

We particularly appreciate their great energy on stage, their punchy lyrics, and their instrumentation, directly inspired by the greats of the trad scene. Irish. All of this, of course, combined with punk guitar work!
