Biography
"The Lash represents a traditional music movement that may have escaped the mainstream by virtue of escaping definition."
The Grand Rapids Press
“It's so refreshing when a group of traditional musicians deviate from the predictable path and let their music lead them into new territory. Michigan-based group, The Lash, fuse the framework of traditional Irish music with rock, punk and even techno stylings to create a unique form of music.”

“The Lash is not one of those wannabe bands that jumped out of the woodwork to hop on the Riverdance bandwagon; it’s a real deal Celtic rock band.”
The Rock Island Argus
"The Lash is that rare band that manages to have it both ways- they bring together the fire and fury of rock and roll with the mysterious, otherworldly joys and sorrows of traditional Celtic music and the results are strong and engaging fun."
Capitol Times
“By using the combinations of traditional Irish folk music, the Irish-rock influence of The Pogues and the recognizable melodies found in pop rock, The Lash is becoming one of the truest forms of alternative music around.”
Lansing State Journal
"The Lash has a polished stage act and possesses a repertoire of songs that rival any of their contemporaries."
