The Tossers
Long Dim Road (Thick)
by Scott Hefflon
While Irish folk-oriented punk suddenly became popular a few years back, The Tossers have been doing it for years, and they’ll keep doing it after the fad wears thin (like, um, now). Thing is, southside Chicago’s Tossers are the real deal, and while they’re almost, ya know, straight political Irish folk at times, they reek of sincerity and musical talent, so you go with ’em no matter where they go.
