  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of acoustic albums, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (2022) and Okemah Rising (2023) breathed musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie.

  Vanessa Paradis

  French singer, actress and model Vanessa Paradis first hit the charts in 1987, at the tender age of 14. Her single "Joe le Taxi" spent 11 weeks at the top of the French charts, and proved an international success as well. She recorded two albums in Paris before traveling to New York in 1991 to record her self-titled English-language debut, with Lenny Kravitz as producer. The album's "Be My Baby" was also a hit, but Paradis' popularity waned a bit in the U.S. She recorded Live in 1994.

  She is the longtime companion of actor Johnny Depp.

  She has since appeared in several films, most famously 1999's "La fille sur le pont", a black and white romance co-starring Daniel Auteuil, and 2004's "Mon ange". It has been said that her level of fame in France is the equivalent to that of Madonna in North America. In 1991, Paradis famously promoted a new fragrance for Chanel, entitled "Coco". In the advertisement, she's dressed all in black and feathers, portraying a bird swinging in a cage. In 2004 they chose her once again to promote Chanel's new line of handbags called "Ligne Cambon". She is now promoting Chanel's "The New Mademoiselle" handbag line. Paradis released a new album in 2007.

  the end of 08 sees VP at 35 years young.
