Dropkick Murphys

After 26 years, Boston’s Dropkick Murphys put down their pencils, picked up their acoustic guitars, and wrote an album of songs around some previously unseen Woody Guthrie lyrics. The power of Woody’s words meets the urgency of Dropkick Murphys' music on This Machine Still Kills Fascists (out September 30 via the band's own Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS]). Dropkick Murphys break new ground visiting old territory: bringing Woody Guthrie’s perennial jabs at life into the time of their lives – turning missives from over half a century ago into something eerily relevant to today’s world. Or perhaps simply revealing the timeless essence of the human struggle.
