"As with many charged conversations around pop cultural touchstones of late, Dropkick Murphys hasn't suddenly 'gotten' political, the band has always been that way (some people just have unfathomably low media comprehension). The Boston group has always been turning out feisty Celtic punk anthems championing the working class and unions in the ongoing battle against oligarchs and fascists since starting up in the mid-'90s.
After rising from small local clubs to the Warped Tour stage, the band broke through in a big way when their song 'I'm Shipping Up to Boston' became a hit after being used prominently in The Departed. Despite being one of the biggest punk bands for a couple decades, Dropkick has never lost sight of its roots or morals."
