Release Notes:

Dropkick Murphys formed in 1996 in Boston, MA. The band was originally just a
bunch of friends looking to play music for fun. We started playing in the
basement of a friend's barbershop and our goal was to blend the musical
influences we had grown up with (Punk Rock, Irish Folk, Rock, and Hardcore) into
one loud, raucous, chaotic, and often out of tune mix that we could call our
own.

To our surprise people seemed to liked it and we began to record music and tour
constantly. To date we have released over ten singles, two EP CD, and four Full
Length albums and have had the good fortune of being able to play across a large
portion of the world. We are truly grateful to the many friends and bands that
have helped us out and supported us along the way in the US, Canada, Europe,
U.K. Ireland, Scandinavia, and Australia as well as the many countries we look
forward to playing in the next century.

The bands' main goal is to play music that creates an all for one, one for all
environment where everyone is encouraged to participate, sing along, and
hopefully have a good time. In the true spirit of punk rock we view the band and
the audience as one in the same; in other words our stage and our microphone are
yours.

In addition to hopefully bringing people together for a good time, we hope to
share some of our experiences and beliefs in working class solidarity,
friendship, loyalty and self- improvement as a means to bettering society (i.e.
You can preach till you're blue in the face but if you're lying in the gutter no
one's gonna listen. If you pick yourself up by the bootstraps and live your life
to the best of your ability you may set an example that others will follow).
