September 30 street date. Dropkick Murphys' history with Woody Guthrie dates back decades, from covering "Gonna Be A Blackout Tonight" on their 2003 album "Blackout", to using some of Guthrie's writing about Boston in their immortal hit "I'm Shipping Up To Boston". But on their latest album, "This Machine Still Kills Fascists", Dropkick Murphys have crafted an entire record around the seminal American folk icon, bringing Woody Guthrie's perennial jabs at life-many of which are from the 1940s and 50s-into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today's world. The idea for the collaboration had been percolating between Guthrie's daughter Nora and the band for more than a decade, with Nora curating a collection of her father's never before-published lyrics for the band over the years. The result is one of Dropkick Murphys' most unique releases, and the culmination of two like-minded rebellious artists collaborating, albeit nearly a century apart.

January 8 street date. Dropkick Murphys come out swinging on their 8th full-length album 'Signed & Sealed In Blood'. This time around, everything has been cranked up past 10. The guitars are ballsier, the gang vocals are louder, the hooks are catchier, the lyrics stop you in your tracks. The album is the band’s second with producer Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show), which was recorded at Boston’s Q Division studios and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes). "We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out In Style, we were excited to get back into the studio right away," says bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey. "Where Going Out In Style was a concept album, kind of intricate and difficult, this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be."
