Dropkick Murphys
Dropkick Murphys are a Celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, USA. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, they blended Oi!, Irish music, Scottish music, and hardcore. Their influences include Stiff Little Fingers, The Pogues, The Clash, AC/DC, and the Swingin' Utters.
The band has made a name for itself and built a following by their non stop touring all over the world and their famous St. Patrick's Day weekend shows, which are held in Boston. Dropkick Murphys also support unions and some of their songs reflect this. The group is also well known for their affiliation with the Boston Red Sox baseball team, and the Boston Bruins hockey team.

Spin (4/98, pp.124-125) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Making Irish jigs go `Oi!' like nobody since the Pogues on RED ROSES FOR ME in 1984, DO OR DIE is all-for-one/one-for-all boy bonding....They rock like infantry grunts wishing they were back on the block....Their pennywhistles meld into an anthemic Clash roar, and even their power chords feel like flags waving."

Dropkick Murphys: Ken Casey (vocals, bass); Al Barr (vocals); Marc Orrell (guitar, accordion, background vocals); James Lynch (guitar, background vocals); Ryan Foltz (dulcimer, mandolin, whistle); Spicy McHaggis (bagpipes); Matt Kelly (drums, bodhran, background vocals). Additional personnel: Shane MacGowan, Colin McFaull, Desi Queally (vocals); Rick Barton (guitar); Johnny Cunningham (mandolin); Brian Queally (whistle); Carl Kelly (Uilleann pipes); Joe Delaney (bag pipes); Andreas Kelly (accordion); Zack Brines (piano); Katie Terrio, Ryan Whelan, Marissa Alterie (background vocals). Recorded at The Outpost Studios, Stoughton, Massachusetts. The Dropkick Murphys are to punk what House of Pain was to rap. They bring an explicitly Irish sensibility to their chosen style (there are shamrocks on the album cover, and there's a bagpiper in the band, for goodness' sake) while remaining true to the conventions of the genre. Still, despite the occasional jig-like detour or pennywhistle flourish, the Murphys aren't trying to reinvent punk. Their songs are presented the way punk was meant to be; loud, fast, hard, and simple. The driving guitars and pummelling drums that power these songs could be descended from the vintage Ramones (or at least Social Distortion) album of your choice. Admittedly, there aren't too many other punk bands that combine mohawks with kilts, or power chords with bodhrans, but that's what gives the Murphys their distinctive sound.

Dropkick Murphys: Al Barr (vocals); Marc Orrell (guitar, accordion); James Lynch (guitar); Ryan Foltz (mandolin, whistle); Spicy McHaggis (bag pipes); Ken Casey (bass, background vocals); Matt Kelly (drums). Additional personnel: Boston Police Gaelic Column Pipes & Drums, Harney School Of Dance Step Dancers. Recorded live at the Avalon Ballroom, Boston, Massachusetts in March 2002. Includes liner notes by Nancy Hammerle Teacher and Dennis Lshane Author. This Boston-based Irish punk band's proletarian, all-for-one attitude, as espoused consistently in its lyrics, is perhaps best exemplified by a live album like this one, where their energy and communal relationship with their audience can be clearly heard. You can hear the crowd chanting along to the lyrics of Dropkick Murphys' working-class anthems with faithful vigor, and the band responds in kind by kicking the already-high energy level up even further. Though their blend of punk and Celtic flavors is unique (they surely don't have much company in blending punk guitars and bagpipes), the sound (and the sociopolitics) also bear strong echoes of early Oi outfits like Sham 69, all rousing shout-along choruses and martial rhythms. Interestingly, its when they tackle the more Irish-sounding tunes (as on "The Rocky Road to Dublin") that the boys seem to be at their punkiest.

Desciption
Includes a bonus DVD disc. Dropkick Murphys: Al Barr, Ken Casey, Ryan Foltz, Matt Kelly, James Lynch, Marc Orrell. Additional personnel: Stephanie Dougherty (vocals); Joe Delaney (bag pipes). Recorded at The Outpost, Stoughton, Massachusetts. When faced with a hyper-stylized pop music landscape, young'uns may find it hard to imagine that there once was a time when John Mellencamp actually did live in a small town and Bruce Springsteen hung out with the blue-collar tough guys who populate his songs. Luckily, anyone with a hankering for authentic working class rock still has the Dropkick Murphys. Sure the sonic palette may be a little different, but the sentiment is the same; the Murphys favor equal parts New York Dolls and METAL CIRCUS-era Husker Du hardcore fury over heartland twang, but like every great regular guy album from BORN TO RUN to THE LONESOME JUBILEE, BLACKOUT celebrates the triumph of the individual's spirit over "fat cats" and the sad conundrum of everyday existence. In addition, with their liberal use of traditional Irish instrumentation and explicit references to their hometown of Boston, the Dropkick Murphys manage to turn outrage and existential angst into something akin to a wild summer block party.

Additional personnel: Laura Casey (viola, cello); Peter Chase, Bill Janovitz, Bronson Arroyo, Lenny Dinardo, Johnny Damon, Dr. Charles Steinberg, Jeff Horrigan, Mark Rogoff, Sara Stevenson, Julie Cordeiro (background vocals). Recording information: The Outpost, Stoughton, Massachusetts (2004 - 2005); Q Division, Somerville, Massachussets. Like The Pogues before them, the Dropkick Murphys successfully combine traditional Irish music, (lusty, barroom choruses plus accordion and bagpipes) and punk rock (choppy guitar riffs, speedy drumming) into the kind of Celt-punk that's at the heart of their fifth album, THE WARRIOR'S CODE. Amid the folkie "Captain Kelly's Kitchen" and "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," (based around previously unreleased Woody Guthrie lyrics) and Australian troubadour Eric Bogle's anti-war anthem "The Green Fields of France," modern-day punk energy is a constant. Scruffy Wallace's aforementioned bagpipes fuse well with James Lynch and Marc Orrell's raging guitars on a title track dedicated to Massachusetts welterweight "Irish" Mickey Ward, while the raucous "Wicked Sensitive Crew" makes light of the DMs being "touchy feely sensitive guys." Most touching is "Last Letter Home," an homage to Sgt. Andrew Farrar, a die-hard fan who died serving in Iraq (the band played at his funeral).

The Meanest of Times is the sixth album by the Dropkick Murphys. It was released on September 18, 2007 by their new vanity label, Born & Bred Records, a division of Warner Music Group. That makes this their major label debut, as all of their previous albums were released on the independent label Hellcat Records.
The picture on the album's cover was taken at Saint Brendan School in Dorchester, Massachusetts, close to Quincy, Massachusetts where the band hails from. Local kids posed in the picture to make it look like it was taken in an old Irish school.
