Dropkick Murphys - Topic

After more than a dozen studio albums, half-a-billion streams, millions of records sold, and thousands of packed shows around the globe, Dropkick Murphys are more relevant than ever nearly 30 years into their career. Dropkick Murphys’ new album For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against injustices happening in America, with a strength and power that harkens back to the band's earliest punk rock roots. For The People is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is—and who they’ve always been. “Who’ll Stand With Us?,” the album’s first single, is a call for unity, a return to sanity, and a look at what – and who – is really dividing us. The song aims to frame class warfare for what it is and empowers listeners to take action. Whether it’s politics, family, friends or simply “life,” Dropkick Murphys continue to write music that regular people can identify with. Dropkick Murphys' celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts – Turn Up That Dial (Expanded Version) (2021), 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory (2017), Signed and Sealed in Blood (2013), Going Out In Style (2011) – along with 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior's Code featuring the near double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.” A pair of acoustic albums, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (2022) and Okemah Rising (2023) breathed musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie.
