I like Pogues and Floggin' Molly. Besides those bands I know no more bands in that style. So, all input is welcome.

You can always try http://www.allmusic.com; it is American site but it does cover a lot of world music and they are actively seeking non US writers so it isn't too Rock Centric.
For each band entry they have a list of what they consider similar styles and a list of acts that they consider 'followed'. The also have some dubious 'moods' section.
Anyway they have a history of the band with a Discography section, you may not always agree with the sometimes bollocks written but it is a good source of info.

I've been at Allmusic.com now, actually been there before but never noticed the place with other artists.
Anyway I tried it with names I know a lot about and allthough I could see why they associate some artists with others I think the suggestions are a bit to wide off to be of any real value. I think it's a bit more like "people who like this also like...", of course that can be cool in it's own way but...

Yes, nice reading. The cross-over genres he touch up on, Pogues and Waco Bros, are what often makes great music. Like in the 50's when they moved from country in to Rock, and later the move from rock to pop. Pop to prog etc-etc. Many people state that styles are best when they are new, like a style can be worn out, but I belive it has to do with the fact that the musicians had played something else before they started something new. If one look at second or third etc generation of a style, say punk, one must suspect the musicans have heard it since childhood and I think that becomes a road-block.
