Yeah idk it’s a running joke me and a friend have where you must make a big deal about correcting anyone who mentions the band

Basically, yeah. The "samh" part is "sow," as in a female pig (not as in sowing seeds), and the "ain" part can be pronounced as "in" or "an." It should really be "an" but it's unstressed, so may be softened to "in."

As a native irish speaker this is how I say it. Although until right now I did not know a band of this name existed.

Good to know. If you’re in to punk music, you should check them out. You may enjoy them.

I'm going to check them out for the name alone. That is an epic choice! And thank you.
