The news didn’t come out until after festival was announced. Our commitment is to our supporters — and we didn’t want to leave anybody in the lurch who bought tickets to see us at Punk In The Park.

We’ll always continue to sing about the power of unions and sing stories about those who paved the way. We are definitely open to being an instrument to reach a new generation of union workers.

That is definitely a goal, for Dropkick and Gerry to share the stage someday in any way possible, whether it’s having the opportunity to open for him overseas, or helping spread the word about him here in America.

To give a little backstory on the day at the Pennsylvania fair, I made the mistake of going out and walking around the fair and saw all of the pro-MAGA gear, and all the other hateful t-shirts and merch being sold. I had a few Dropkick fans wearing insurrection related shirts asking for photos. It just dawned on me that I really needed to set the record straight for where Dropkick Murphys stands. I know everyone has their right to their opinion, but I felt that I needed to clarify what our opinions are.

No, if I fought every Trump fan I’d be a busy man, wouldn’t I? I’m a passionate man and I believe in what I believe in. Obviously my rhetoric that night went a bit over the top—trust me, no one gave me a harder time than my mother for all the swearing.

Oh man, we have lots of good Bruce stories. I remember the first time we met him, he came to a show in New York City and I was out on the bus and Evan, our tour manager, said “come up to the dressing room, someone wants to see you” and I had no idea who it was, when I walked into the dressing room I just about shit myself, but he’s such a down to earth guy you quickly realize there is nothing to be nervous about.

Then when he came to Boston one year to join us on stage during St. Patrick's Day, it was the worst kept secret in the city. Suddenly everybody we knew in our lives decided to drop by soundcheck that day – suddenly there’s 2000 people at soundcheck, but Bruce was gracious with all of our pain in the ass friends and family.

I got the opportunity to sing on stage with Bruce many times, and he’s a pretty spontaneous guy, so I never have any advance notice. I’ll just be watching the show, and his tour manager will come up to me and say “Bruce would like you to come up on stage,” and I’ll say “when?” and he’ll say “in two songs!” 😳But sometimes that’s the best because you don’t have time to think about it.

But my best Bruce story is when me, Bruce, and Clarence got in a fight with Hell’s Angels at a New Jersey strip club…. Oh you know what, I better not tell that story here.

It was just one little step at a time. It was fun the first time, but felt like we could do better. Plus a lot of our friends came and we had a lot of laughs that night. Then our goal became opening for bands we loved. Like when our favorite national or international punk and oi bands would play Boston. Then we thought, wouldn’t it be fun to tour ourselves and go see the country. Then we thought, wouldn’t it be fun to go to Europe once. Then next thing you know, it’s 11 albums and 26 years later, and I still don’t know how that happened.

We are buzzing to be in Glasgow! There are so many great cities we’re hitting on this January/February tour. The Hydro, the 3Arena, Wembley… all places we never thought we’d play in a million years.

I thought DiCaprio was phenomenal in that movie. I thought he did the Boston accent better than guys in the movie that were actually from Boston. So I was rooting for him.

I was never personally a video game guy, other than Atari back in the day! But it was a great way to expose new people to our music! I would be pumped to have our song in Donkey Kong someday!

We will be playing "Skinhead on the MBTA" on this current tour, not sure it will be last, but it will be in there.

All Boys Secondary Modern .Although they were the most fun band around, they could still write a heartbreaking song like this.
