Born in the days before alternative was a marketing term, McCarthyizm soon became a band known for blending 60s garage and 80s underground rock with strong melodies and intelligent lyrics. Add some raucous rhythm and a tasty measure of Celtic flavoring and youve got a cocktail with a punch that delivers one helluva good time, all the time.The Buffalo-based McCarthyizm has traveled throughout the northeast, playing to converts in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles and Toronto. Theyve shared the stage with bands like the Goo Goo Dolls, Eddie Money, John Waite, 10,000 Maniacs The Smithereens, along with Canadian favorites like Crash Test Dummies, Jason Plumb, Spirit of the West, The Glenngarry boys, Hawksley Workman, and The Lowest of the Low.McCarthyizm has also earned several Buffalo music awards over the years including, Top Original Rock Band and Top Recording. But thats all stuff for the resume. What matters is the song. The bands song craft has been there from the beginning, along with their need to get into the studio. So the boys have saved their pennies and returned their empties and have been able to release several critically acclaimed recordings including Pretty Naked (1993), Vesuvio (1995), Eterniday (1998), and Pair ODocs (2001).So check it out for yourself. Put that McCarthyizm disc on and turn it up. If you dig intelligent, infectious pop/rock, heres the mountain for your shovel. Better yet, catchem live. Depending on how close it is to St.. Pattys Day (and/or how much whiskey is left in the bottle), youll also here some rocking Celtic tunes, both traditional and original. Its all good. And its all in the song...This profile was edited with
