Dropkick Murphys named themselves after a local rehab clinic in Boston. It's a good fit for the Celtic punk band who would gladly drink David Crosby's blood if they had no alcohol around. But that doesn't take away from their new album Blackout which sports powerful lyrics about deadbeat dads, their beloved Boston Bruins and a traditional song about banishment to Australia. In fact often times their lyrics are so politically charged that Woody Guthrie's family took notice and offered them a song from...

Yay! I like the Dropkick Murphys and have played them on my Stupid College Radio Show in the past and will probably do so in the future.

The guys fucking rock!!! I was a bit skeptical when I bought BLACKOUT, but now because of that album, they are among my all time favorites. The guys kick so much ass they don't need to bother taking names. Drinking and Driving is one of my favorite songs to get fit shaced to.

Keep it UP!!

Ah....my favorite thing about living near Boston is you can always run into these guys when they're not on tour. A friend and I saw their old bagpipes player outside a club a while back, and they're ALWAYS at the Bruins games. I never miss them when they play on Saint Patty's day. DROPKICKS RULE!!!!! (Heh, oddly enough, I'm wearing my Dropkick's sweatshirt right now as I'm typing this).

How did DKM do an interview and only get 17(18 now) comments? Were/are people too awe struck by them or do the kids these days no longer associate the bands with the band shirts they wear around(cause I see a fethin' lot of DKM shirts around here)?
