Dropkick Murphys Unveil Unconventional Album, 'This Machine Still Kills Fascists'

Dropkick Murphys are known for their high-energy punk rock sound and catchy choruses, but with their latest album, 'This Machine Still Kills Fascists,' they're taking a bold new approach. The Boston-based band has announced that they'll be releasing an album of Woody Guthrie songs, with not a single amplifier used to animate the lyrics.

The album, set to drop on September 30 via Dummy Luck Music, is a collection of 10 songs featuring Guthrie's words from the 1940s and 1950s. According to a press release, 'Two 6's Upside Down' is a 'forlorn gambler's lament, awash in love and loss, murder and punishment,' which gives listeners an idea of what to expect from the album.

The band has been working with Guthrie's estate to bring his lyrics to life, and they've managed to create something truly unique. The album marks a departure from Dropkick Murphys' usual sound, but it's clear that they're committed to doing justice to Guthrie's work.

Fans will be able to get their first taste of the new album with the release of the single 'Two 6's Upside Down,' which is accompanied by a music video set to drop at 3pm today. The band has also announced that they'll be releasing the full album on September 30, just in time for fans to get into the holiday spirit.

With 'This Machine Still Kills Fascists,' Dropkick Murphys are pushing themselves outside of their comfort zone and exploring new sounds. It's clear that they're passionate about Guthrie's work and are dedicated to bringing his message to a new generation of listeners. The album is set to be an exciting departure from the band's usual style, and fans will likely be eager to get their hands on it when it drops later this year.
