Rooted in the sounds of The Clash, The Pogues, AC/DC and Stiff Little Fingers.
Dropkick Murphys come out swinging with their 6th studio album "The Meanest
Of Times" a collection of tales about family, loyalty and remembering where
you came from. "The Meanest Of Times" contains all the best elements of the
DKM sound: a complex distillation of classic punk rock, Celtic folk and American
rock'n'roll, this album puts the band's diversity, intensity and sincerity on
full display.
From the Quincy Barbershop where it all began to Fenway Park the year the Red
Sox won the World Series to six sold out shows in a club they used to be barred
from to the title song in a Martin Scorsese feature film the DKM goal has always
remained the same. Says Ken Casey: "We always wanted to be that band that didn't
forget where it came from and we keep it in the forefront of our minds that
we're all in it together, audience and band members, as one, no one better than
the other. That's the M.O. of a lot of punk bands, but I think sometimes it
gets lost the minute a band has any kind of success. We never want to let it
go to our heads. We know how lucky we are to be doing this. It's because of
the people that listen to the band's music we have this opportunity to see the
world. I don't care if we're playing to 10 people or 10,000 people, those kids
that are up front singing our songs are the reason we're doing this."
