Boston's Celt-punks Dropkick Murphys have announced a new record This Machine Still Kills Fascists. The acoustic album was built around recently unearthed, previously unpublished lyrics written by Woody Guthrie and will drop on 30 September. The band has begun to take pre-orders.
To coincide with the album announcement, the band has also announced their first acoustic theater tour. Tickets will be available here beginning 24 June.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed's musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he's self-aware, amirite?
