The Gobshites are a Celtic punk band from Boston MA USA. Formed in 2002 by Peter Walsh, their music has been compared with the Pogues and Black 47, but is more a reversed version: instead of taking Irish songs and punking them up, they take punk songs and 'Irish' them upFact|date=February 2007; for example, in their hands The Ramones's "Long Way Back To Germany" becomes "Long Way Back To Ireland" with a fiddle jig incorporated.

In 2005 they released their first full-length CD "When The Shite Hits The Fans", and also appear on "What the Shite? - Shite 'n' Onions Vol. 2". Currently they appear in clubs in Boston, Providence, Worcester, the South Shore and Western Massachusetts.
