Embrace your inner punk and ship out for a night of headbangin’ tunes with Dropkick Murphys. The Boston rock ‘n’ roll outfit has been steadily building its discography since 1996, with chantable songs like “Rose Tattoo,” “The State of Massachusetts,” and “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.” Its recent records, This Machine Still Kills Fascists and Okemah Rising, offer Irish instrumentation in a new acoustic format, and use unpublished Woody Guthrie lyrics, which were curated for the band by Guthrie’s daughter.
