Dropkick Murphys - The Warrior's Code [LP]
Hellcat HEL 804721 045778047215
Since 1997, Boston's Dropkicks have released six albums, each bettering the last in sales. They've amassed hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, and have recently widened that base with their rendition of 'Tessie', the Red Sox's rally anthem, spurring the team to win the 2004 World Series and establishing the band in New England sports history. With 'The Warrior's Code', the Dropkicks combine their driving punk energy with a newfound sense of majesty and melody to create anthems for troubled times. 'Tessie' is included here as a special bonus track, and it's also prominently featured in the new movie 'Fever Pitch', starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. Look for them this summer on the Van's Warped Tour main stage.
Like The Pogues before them, the Dropkick Murphys successfully combine traditional Irish music, (lusty, barroom choruses plus accordion and bagpipes) and punk rock (choppy guitar riffs, speedy drumming) into the kind of Celt-punk that's at the heart of their fifth album, THE WARRIOR'S CODE. Amid the folkie 'Captain Kelly's Kitchen' and 'I'm Shipping Up to Boston,' (based around previously unreleased Woody Guthrie lyrics) and Australian troubadour Eric Bogle's anti-war anthem 'The Green Fields of France,' modern-day punk energy is a constant. Scruffy Wallace's aforementioned bagpipes fuse well with James Lynch and Marc Orrell's raging guitars on a title track dedicated to Massachusetts welterweight 'Irish' Mickey Ward, while the raucous 'Wicked Sensitive Crew' makes light of the DMs being 'touchy feely sensitive guys.' Most touching is 'Last Letter Home,' an homage to Sgt. Andrew Farrar, a die-hard fan who died serving in Iraq (the band played at his funeral).
