DROPKICK MURPHYS

Album Review: Dropkick Murphys - Going Out Of Style

by Elisa Beall Fri, March 4th, 2011 at 9:52am

It has been four years since the Dropkick Murphys have released a studio album. Bandmates Tim, James, Al, Ken, Matt, Scruffy, and Jeff have stayed true to their music; delivering long awaited fans with the bag pipe tooting, booze induced, Irish punk wailing they love.

The newly released album, Going Out of Style, captures the anger, love and drunken essence of fictional Boston Irish-American Cornelius Larkin. Taking many dips and sharp turns, like a bi-polar emotional roller coaster, the album still manages to flow together.

Shipping Up to Boston

Is there a better place to be in St. Patrick's Day than in Boston? Unless you have a couch to crash on Dublin for a week, there's not. But, even with said couch, you would miss out on Beantown's music scene. I mean, what is St. Paddy's without an entire week of Celtic celebration and the Dropkick Murphys?

Boston's finest Irish punks will be making their traditional appearances from the 12th to the 17th of March, at the House of Blues.. and guess what? Not all dates are sold out yet!. $30 will get you in the door and dropkickin' around til your little Irish hearts' content.

Places to Lose Your Memory This March 17th

There's nothing quite like St. Patty's Day in Boston. Go to Ireland: they get all pious and holy; go to The Vatican: and all the Roman Catholics are saying their prayers; Anywhere else in the world they don't even know what you're talking about. But in the United States, when it comes to this particular day, Americans do what they've always done on holidays religious, national, historical, or otherwise: claim it as their own and throw one hell of a party!

Of course, living in Boston, you have to be completely daft to have missed that we are the original and unmatched Mecca for all things Irish-American. St. Patty's may not be a public holiday anywhere else in the country, but here, it is a serious drinking holiday, and I know many a Bostonian willing to call in "sick" for an early start at the bar.
