About
Dropkick Murphys are a Celtic punk band from Quincy, Massachusetts, formed in 1996, who built their sound by fusing Boston hardcore with Irish folk instrumentation - bagpipes, tin whistle, accordion. Their 2005 track "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" reached a global audience after appearing in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning film The Departed, and the band has since logged four consecutive Billboard Top 10 album debuts and over half a billion streams. Known for ferociously energetic live shows and a strong working-class ethos, they have headlined arenas worldwide and run an annual St. Patrick's Day residency in Boston that draws fans from across the globe.
