The Internal Security Unit (ISU) was the counter-intelligence and interrogation unit of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). This unit was often referred to as the Nutting Squad.

Several of the commandos also had M18 Claymore mines strapped to their chests with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge.

The North Koreans quickly got out of their buses and began setting up two-man machine gun positions, where they watched in silence as the tree was felled in 42 minutes (three minutes fewer than Stilwell's estimate),

Not really no. I know quite a few bands from all over Europe that mostly do celtic music. It's a reasonably popular genre. Hell, Metallica covered "Whiskey in the Jar" and last I checked they aren't Irish either.

I get that a lot of European bands switch to English if they can, because larger market. But , maybe build up the vocabulary a bit first, learn what's cliche now, work on the pronunciation a bit.

I'm just saying, it turns out there's a lot of English language music out there, and I just don't think these guys are going to make it.

Are you saying you can only call something "music of <place>" if it traditionally from that place?

So, because pop music originated in the United States and the United Kingdom, you're not allowed to say some random pop music band from Canada counts as "music of Canada"?

Nah, this whole argument of y'all is weird to me.

the laugh out loud terrible "celtic" band from the netherlands who made sure to link to a list of celtic cultural topics that were mentioned in their music on their wikipedia page is both worthless and funny

also they go out of their way to let you know where you can find more about mexican cultural customs you may have learned from their lyrics, like "cinco de mayo" and "siestas"

Oh. That's a fair point. I never bothered clicking those links and thought they were all songs they covered or something. From the discussion above I thought y'all thought the "funny" part was slapping a Netherlands label on a Dutch band and I didn't get that.
