![]() And they’ve done it all without their usual arsenal of electric guitars. In the 10 songs that make up This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys bring 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. Visiting Oakland in support of their most recent album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists, Dropkick Murphys are bringing Woody Guthrie’s lyrics to life for an acoustic, seated experience at the Fox Theater this November. They’ve built a legacy that does Beantown proud. In Boston, it seems like everybody knows someone connected to the band whether by blood, friendship, or the time they shared a brew at a Bruins game. Dropkick Murphys have become ambassadors for their city. Many of the songs reflect these experiences, and the band’s sadness, anger and dismay at the opiate epidemic ravaging the country – in particular, Boston and New England - and also their feeling of pride and optimism at the sight of those who have turned their lives around. Dropkick Murphys–Al Barr, Tim Brennan, Ken Casey, Jeff DaRosa, Matt Kelly, James Lynch–are hands-on in raising funds, mentoring, and lending a helping hand with veterans, youth sports, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. There’s a feeling of purpose throughout the album, influenced by the band’s work with The Claddagh Fund, a charity the band established in 2009 to help support addiction recovery as well as children’s and veterans’ organizations. The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 and was the #1 independently released album. 2017 will see the release of Rancid’s ninth studio album.ĭropkick Murphys are touring in support of their 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory album, released through the band’s own Born & Bred Records earlier this year. They have their own independent booking agent, they’re on an independent record label, Hellcat/Epitaph, and they make their own t-shirts. Rancid (Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen, Matt Freeman, Branden Steineckert) has stayed independent. In 1993, they signed with longtime producer, and label founder, Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion and Epitaph Records, who would stay on with the band for the next 20 years as the band’s producer. After Operation Ivy broke up, Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman went on to form Rancid. The roots of Rancid are traceable back to Operation Ivy at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA. He turned it over to his bandmate and Hellcat Records president Tim Armstrong, who quickly snatched up the band for his new label. Back in 1997, Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen came across a copy of Dropkick Murphys’ original EP at a friend’s house. Rancid and Dropkick Murphys have a long and important history together.
