“THE MAJOR REPRESENTATIVES OF CELTIC HEAVY PUNK” Les Inrocks“A WINNING FORMULA” ARTE CONCERTLanding as the much-anticipated return of celtic punk legends, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory is the ninth album from Boston’s iconic and hyperactive DROPKICK MURPHYS, who formed twenty years ago.Produced by Ted Hutt and intentionally recorded in the middle of nowhere (specifically El Paso, Texas), this new album features Al Barr (vocals), Tim Brennan (guitar, accordion, mellotron and vocals), Ken Casey (vocals and bass), Jeff DaRosa (banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, guitar and vocals), Matt Kelly (percussion and backing vocals) and James Lynch (guitar and backing vocals).Influenced by their collaboration with The Claddagh Fund, an organization that supports former drug addicts, the band members offer songs that reflect the sadness, anger and dismay they feel about drug use and the catastrophes that are ravaging their country. The band's strength also lies in its ability to offer true anthems and optimistic songs that one can easily imagine being sung by crowds in stadiums around the world. The track '4-15-13', one of the most poignant in DROPKICK MURPHYS' history, is a tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing (2013), while the already released single 'Mood' is dedicated to the mutual respect between the band and its fans.With 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, the legendary Boston band wonderfully alternates celtic punk sounds and optimistic songs. DROPKICK MURPHYS are more talented than ever!
