Dropkick Murphys

3 Nov

For those of you who find Flogging Molly too restrained, melodic or musically talented, here’s Dropkick Murphys. Full-on Celtic punk rock, yelling and brogue and steel-toed boots, it’s all here with the Murphys. Their version of “The Auld Triangle” is what I always thought the Red Roses for Me out-take of the same song by the Pogues would sound like, I guess. But “The Warriors Code” is for true believers (and is just way too cheesy for me).

    Wait a damn minute, Joe. The Dropkick Murphy's are too cheesy for you, yet, you posted up Big Strides?
    Wow.

    Swear to god, I was just thinking to myself today, "Why don't I own any Dropkick Murphy's?" Thanks guys.

    Haha first Flogging Molly, then Dropkick Murphys! Way to go Joe!
    The similiarities to the two bands are certainly apparent, and whoever I met who liked Flogging Molly almost always brought up Dropkick Muphys. I personally prefer FM to DM because of Flogging Molly's better blend of Irish and rock throughout the riffs instead of Dropkick's more stagnant use of Irish instruments in a song and more of the focus on punk. Dropkick Murphys lead singer also is more of a screamer too.
    That being said, Dropkick Murphys still have some great songs and I feel if I was introduced to DM and then FM, I would have a better apprciation for Dropkick Murphys.

    Well, Interesting, I actually said in the post that "The Wariors Code" is too cheesy for me. I wouldn't have put up the band if I thought everything they did sucks.

  • Xlick`tape

  • mitchell

    lol you guys think al barr is a screamer that is sad you have obviously never heard actual screamo music. Once you hear that you may change you definition of what screaming is.

    Stephanie Dougherty is a blond who tours with DKM. She is featured on the "Dirty Glass" and sing one line at the end of "Shitfaced", both on Blackout disc. She fronts a band that backed up DKM on current tour; can't remember their name. They bring her out for the duet on Dirty Glass
