Getting to know Drop Kick Murphys - Political Punk-Celtic band - Anti-Trump, Anti-CIA, Anti-ICE...

[mysteryowl]

This band has been around for 30 years, but they entered another demographic with the trump era.
I was checking them out and thought I would share with DU.

Ken Casey - Embedding Social Justice in Punk Music in “For the People” | The Daily Show

They are intense. It is how they roll!

1. One of my favorite bands.

My son and Grandson saw them the last time they were in Reno.

[mysteryowl]

2. That's great.

I guess they travel the world performing.

I dabbled with Punk in college, but I only remember the B-52's.

8. They usually get a room when they go to a show

I'm glad they didn't cause there was a shooting the next morning at the resort.

3. that second video isn't the dropkicks. It's an AI ripoff of them.

[mysteryowl]

4. Oh no! I will take it down.

People can find them on the internet. I apparently have no idea how to detect AI and I watched a video on how to spot AI.

7. Thank you! The main giveaways were that there was just a fake drawing for the visual, the channel was a Canadian

guy, the title was something like "Dropkick Murphy style protest song," and the song simply didn't sound like them.

Here's their official youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dropkickmurphys

Lyrics

Throughout centuries in every country
We’ve faced the wrath and felt the pain
Of the tyrant’s sword or the henchman’s boot
For another rich man’s gain
In the endless quest for wealth and power
They stomp us down with great disdain
Beneath the false god’s banner
In the name of all that’s vain
Through crime and crusade
Our labor, it’s been stolen
We’ve been robbed of our freedom
We’ve been held down and beholden
To the bosses and bankers
Who never gave their share
Of any blood
Of any sweat
Of any tears
Who’ll stand with us?
Don’t tell us everything is fine
Who’ll stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone else’s gain
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
And as time rolls on
Not a single thing has changed
the wealth gap’s only grown
As we all point the blame
We’re at the throats of one another
Though we share a single fate
And the golden few laugh on and on
As we all take the bait

Through crime and crusade
Our labor, it’s been stolen
We’ve been robbed of our freedom
We’ve been held down and beholden
To the bosses and bankers
Who never gave their share
Of any blood
Of any sweat
Of any tears
Who’ll stand with us?
Don’t tell us everything is fine
Who’ll stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone else’s gain
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
Through crime and crusade
Our labor, it’s been stolen
We’ve been robbed of our freedom
We’ve been held down and beholden
Who’ll stand with us?
Don’t tell us everything is fine
Who’ll stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone else’s gains
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
So tell me
Who will stand with us?

11. the OP had a different link than that one in the original post, which is what I was objecting to. They replaced it with

the link you just shared.

[Esox Lucius]

5. The wife and I are going to see them tomorrow

night in St Paul!

[mysteryowl]

6. That is fantastic!

I heard they did an impromptu concert in a parking lot by Alex's street memorial.
I tried to find a video of it but was unable to find one.

They're playing a post game concert at the Milwaukee Admirals hockey game against San Jose.
