“On this record, the overall theme is the importance of music and the bands that made us who we are,” says DKM founder and co-lead vocalist Ken Casey. “We just hope [the album] takes people’s minds off their troubles. 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. 25 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.’”

Over the course of the last couple decades, Dropkick Murphys have earned three Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200, generated half-a-billion streams, and sold-out gigs on multiple continents. Their most recent release, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory debuted at #15 on the ARIA charts.

Turn Up That Dial was produced by Ted Hutt at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA. It is available for pre-order now.
