Band names are a lot more entertaining if you translate them to Irish

As we’ve seen with puns and celebrity names, things are significantly more entertaining when you (poorly) translate them to Irish.

My latest venture is to reenact the Leaving Cert tape test, where they would either translate a band name to Irish, or power ahead with the very jarring English name.

See if you can figure out the blatantly obvious band names.
