About The Fisticuffs
The Fisticuffs are an Irish Folk Punk band from the South Side of Chicago. Formed in 2005 and borrowing from traditional Irish music and punk, their music 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.

Whether you’re on your feet at the lip of the stage or singing along atop a bar stool, their high-energy live shows have something for everybody.

The bands first album, Bruised But Not Beaten, was completed in March of 2006. Their second album, Neatly Stumblin’ was released in March of 2008.
