Dropkick Murphys are a Bostonian Punk band known for a heavy Boston Irish influence to their music. Most of their music can best be described as bar room punk and anthems about group unity in the face of conflict. Born into the working class of Boston Irish their songs constantly enforce the plight of workers in America, family, tradition, and the destructive force of alcoholism. Their traditional Irish streak does not stop at their use of instruments. Traditional songs can be found on all of their albums with notable instances being "Good Rats" "Amazing Grace" and their own personal twist on "Charlie on the MBTA" originally by the Kingston Trio (Skinhead On The MBTA) Lauded by fans as being one of the best shows in punk rock, they tour nearly non-stop and host a seven concert Saint Patrick's day series.
