  Dropkick Murphys

  After more than a dozen studio albums, half-a-billion streams, millions of records sold, and thousands of packed shows around the globe, Dropkick Murphys are more relevant than ever nearly 30 years into their career.

  Dropkick Murphys’ new album For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against injustices happening in America, with a strength and power that harkens back to the band's earliest punk rock roots. For The People is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is—and who they’ve always been.

  “Who’ll Stand With Us?,” the album’s first single, is a call for unity, a return to sanity, and a look at what – and who – is really dividing us. The song aims to frame class warfare for what it is and empowers listeners to take action.

  Whether it’s politics, family, friends or simply “life,” Dropkick Murphys continue to write music that regular people can identify with.

  Dropkick Murphys' celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts – Turn Up That Dial (Expanded Version) (2021), 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory (2017), Signed and Sealed in Blood (2013), Going Out In Style (2011) – along with 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior's Code featuring the near double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.” A pair of acoustic albums, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (2022) and Okemah Rising (2023) breathed musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie.

  Scowl

  Scowl has quickly made a name for themselves as one of the most vivid and hard-working acts in the rock world. The band - Kat Moss (vocals), Malachi Greene (guitar), Bailey Lupo (bass), Cole Gilbert (drums), and Mikey Bifolco (guitar) - broke out in 2021 with their debut album How Flowers Grow, and it has been a non-stop trajectory ever since. With the release of 2023’s Psychic Dance Routine, Scowl pushed the boundaries of what “punk” is, combining aggressive hardcore with lush alternative melodies. The band was creating music they wanted to listen to, and the world latched on.

  Since forming in 2019, Scowl has consistently eschewed being pigeon-holed, moving far beyond the confines of what a typical “hardcore” band is considered. Floral motifs lace their artwork and merchandise, they’ve notably toured with diverse acts like Limp Bizkit, Destroy Boys, and Show Me The Body. Produced by Grammy-nominated Will Yip at Studio 4, Psychic Dance Routine has exemplified Scowl’s ethos of being true to themselves through creating innovative song structures and personable lyrics.
