Michael McCullagh continues his penchant for reinvention with new track 'The Also Rans'.

McCullagh has returned with a song that is both contemplative and rabble-rousing. Sounding a little like the bastard child of the Divine Comedy and the Dropkick Murphys, it's a powerful outsider anthem.

The track also serves as an accompaniment to McCullagh's hilarious new weekly web series with Tony Wright (aka VerseChorusChorus).

Listen to 'The Also Rans' here:
