Mama's Boys were a 1980s hard rock/heavy metal group from County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland featuring the three McManus brothers Pat, a.k.a. 'The Professor", (guitar and occasionally fiddle), John (bass and vocals), Tommy (drums).

The brothers started off their musical career as award winning traditional Irish musicians but were inspired by the legendary Irish celtic rock band, Horslips, as well as younger brother Tommys passion for the drums to form a rock band.

Although the inspiration from Horslips were strong they decided not to follow in those footsteps and instead adopted a more Heavy Metal for the band. Originally called pulse they soon opted to change their name to Mama's Boys.

The band were active from 1978 til 1993 and released 7 albums and 22 singles in their entire career, one of which was a cover of Slade's stomping hit "Mama We're All Crazee Now" in 1984..

The track "If the Kids are United" appeared only on the Arista Label release of the self titled album in 1984 and funnily enough was omitted from every other release of the album..

this song totally kicks ass, I can't believe they actually left this song off of the CD release, this song IMO is a powerful rock/metal anthem.

I've been searching for this album desperately for decades. I'm dying to have this song. Preferably in mp3 format. Every copy I've ever found is missing this song. Any help would be appreciated.
