Dropkick Murphys is an Irish American Celtic punk/hardcore punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts. Their influences include Stiff Little Fingers, The Pogues, The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, and the Swingin’ Utters. The band has made a name for itself as a result of their extensive touring all over the world, and their St. Patrick’s Day weekend shows, which are held in and around Boston. The group is also famous for their patronage of the Boston Red Sox and Bruins. After six studio albums with the last one being released in 2007 and five live albums with the last one being released in 2010, this is their seventh studio album.
