Dropkick Murphys are an American Celtic punk band from Boston, formed in 1996, known for blending Irish folk instruments and themes with punk rock and anthemic, sing-along choruses.

Reviews highlight the band's fusion of Celtic music and punk, folk arrangements with bagpipes and tin whistle, and standouts such as "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" (lyrics by Woody Guthrie) and "Tessie" (a song linked to the Boston Red Sox). The Warrior's Code and The Meanest of Times are praised in DeBaser reviews.

DeBaser reviews praise Dropkick Murphys' blend of punk and Celtic folk, highlighting strong songwriting, bagpipe/folk arrangements and sing-along anthems. The Warrior's Code and The Meanest of Times are singled out. Recommended for punk fans and anyone who likes energetic, tavern-style choruses.

For:Fans of punk rock, Celtic folk fusion, listeners who enjoy anthemic sing-alongs and energetic live music.

 It's a bit reductive to label the Dropkick Murphys simply as "punk" because they are not the usual band with one-hit wonder songs and albums all the same with melodies borrowed from NOFX.

 After selling over 600,000 copies of the successful "The Warrior’s Code" from 2005, the Boston combo is back with a new work once again infused with the flavor of Irish folk and the most wicked and fun punk rock ever.
