Blood or Whiskey were formed in 1992 in Dublin Ireland.

Understandably likened to The Pogues, but the bands influences lead their sound to be more accurately described as a hybrid of The Dubliners meets The Clash. Having released 2 EP's & 4 albums (Cashed Out On Culture still widely regarded internationally as an Irish gem and Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil a classic), with 4 tours of the East Coast of America (three with Dropkick Murphy's), a regular feature at the Rebellion Festival over the last 8 years (Morecambe, Dublin & Blackpool), and a tour of Japan under their belts, other career highlights included; supporting SLF on an entire UK tour, opening for the likes of Manu Chao, Rancid & The Pogues, playing Oxegen (2009), Reading & Leeds (2010), Blood Or Whiskey have covered a lot of ground in their career to date.
