For The People

Description

The new album from the Dropkick Murphys, For The People, shows courage and confidence. It speaks out against the injustices happening in the United States, with the strength and energy that recall the punk rock roots of the band's early days. For The People is much more than a title: it is a sincere stance, a declaration of what this band is—and what it has always been. For The People is an album that rises to the occasion: an expression of humanity in a time of relentless dehumanization, a promise of hope in an era fueled by fear, a statement of solidarity in a time of division, a fierce riposte to the impostors and demagogues who seek to divide us for their own power. The Dropkick Murphys remain proudly the outsiders of Boston rock turned champions. Since 1996, these guys have been creating music meant to be sung at the top of your lungs over a last drink, in packed arenas, or during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a spectacular comeback. Their acclaimed discography includes four consecutive albums that debuted in the Billboard top 10 (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), as well as the 2005 gold-certified album The Warrior's Code, containing the classic double-platinum track "I'm Shipping Up To Boston".
