The Killigans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Killigans are an American punk-folk band from Lincoln, Nebraska. Formed in 2004 following a restructuring of the former local Nebraska ska-punk band Settle for Less, they play a mix of punk, rock, folk, Americana, country, Celtic and Eastern European inspired music. Their song "Lessons from the Empty Glass" was featured in the 2010 Ridley Scott film Robin Hood.[1] They have released 5 full-length albums, 2 EPs, and are well known for their rendition of University of Nebraska's football team's fight song "Come a Runnin Boys/The Cornhusker" which is played in Memorial Stadium.[2]
