~ The Hand Of John L. Sullivan is a song by The Irish-American Celtic punk band Flogging Molly. It was formed in Los Angeles in 1994, led by Irish vocalist Dave King, formerly of the hard rock band Fastway. The group plays a mix of Irish traditional and rock music. Life Is Good, the band's first new album in six years, was released in 2017. It is the only Flogging Molly album released on Vanguard Records and Spinefarm. They co-headlined a US tour with Social Distortion in 2019.
Recorded with producer Ross Hogarth, The Hand of John L. Sullivan honors the Irish-American heavyweight boxing champion. John L Sullivan, "He was the diamond cut for every poor man’s hope,” states lead vocalist Dave King. “He was the first true working class hero and to shake the hand of John L Sullivan was the dream that could leave their struggles behind and maybe somehow give them hope. Here is the first of many new songs and hopefully our Flogging Molly family are as excited as we are to what lies ahead.”
