Dropkick Murphys Announce New Album ‘Turn Up That Dial’

Dropkick Murphys have announced their 10th album, Turn Up That Dial, set to come out April 30th via their own label, Born & Bred Records.

The upcoming release marks the band’s first album in four years. It will also arrive just in time to celebrate their 25th anniversary. The band gives us a taste of the new record with its lead single “Middle Finger.” The 11-track album also includes the previously released “Mick Jones Nicked My Pudding.”

“We just hope [the album] takes people’s minds off their troubles,” said co-vocalist Ken Casey of Turn Up That Dial. “We’re so fortunate and grateful to be in the position to share a little happiness in our own way. Our gratitude levels are off the chart.”

He continued, “Twenty-five years ago, somebody bet me 30 bucks I couldn’t form a band with three weeks’ notice to open for his band. As kids, we’d never been out of New England and here we are – we’ve made ten records and have been all over the globe. If there’s a message to this album, it’s ‘put your fist up and play it loud.’”

Speaking about the new song Casey explained, “Thinking of my younger days, I made things a lot harder for myself than they needed to be — and still pay for some of those mistakes now.”
