About For The People
For The People shows courage and confidence, tackling injustice with the grit and power that harkens back to the band’s earliest punk roots. It’s more than a title—it’s a stance and declaration of who Dropkick Murphys are, and who they’ve always been.
While touring the album, the band has continued their long-standing advocacy for workers’ rights and human rights, often joining picket lines across the U.S. to support unions fighting for fair wages and better contracts.
The album has been praised by media outlets across the spectrum, with features and interviews in The Atlantic, MSNBC, CNN, Rolling Stone, SPIN, NPR, Kerrang!, Consequence, Stereogum, Billboard, Boston Globe, Boston Herald and many more.
