So beyond excited to see Dropkick Murphys, once again, tomorrow night at Outer Harbor Live at Terminal B with the mighty fellow punk legends Bad Religion. I’ve been listening to DKM’s new album, `For the People’ nonstop these last few weeks and it’s amazing from start to finish, filled with songs about power to yourself and the people, worker’s rights, childhood nostalgia, odes to Shane McGowan from The Pogues and Fletcher from Pennywise and a brief return appearance from Al Barr.
If you align with socially, ethically, and politically correct and positive punk rock – this release is a must for you. DKM have always stood up for the underdogs, workers, veterans and disenfranchised while pushing back against the corrupt powers that look to hold us down and that is abundantly evident in this offering. They have also been very vocal about their disdain and disgust with the current White House resident, and I absolutely applaud them for not being afraid to do so as fearlessly as they have. All those crying, “I wish they would just keep politics out of their music” don’t have the first clue about the roots of punk rock and certainly don’t know the Dropkick Murphys.
If you haven’t yet heard the first single, `Who’ll Stand with Us’, take 3:51 out of your day and do yourself a favor. It shouts what many of us have been for so long now. ✌️🖤🤘
