“What does it mean to be Irish today?”
From rebel ballads to queer anthems, from the Mary Wallopers in Dundalk to Bambi Thug, Irish artists are reclaiming identity, language, and tradition in a time of political and cultural pushback.
In this week’s episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I look at how music is shaping a new Irishness one rooted in protest, inclusivity, and pride. Featuring Lankum, Lisa O’Neill, Pillow Queens, Kneecap, Cherym, Fontaines D.C., and more.
Meanwhile, the Count of Monte Playlisto rides again with new Irish music picks from CMAT, NewDad, Search Results, Alisha, and Varo.
The Last Mixed Tape is hosted by Stephen White.
