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

To their surprise people seemed to liked it and they began to record music and tour constantly. To date they have released over ten singles, one EP CD, and two Full Length albums (with two more coming in 2000) and have had the good fortune of being able to play across a large portion of the world. They are truely 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, Scandanavia, and Australia as well as the many countries they look foward to playing in the next century.

Quote:

"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."
