Boston’s Celt-punks Dropkick Murphys have announced the long anticipated tenth full length Turn Up The Dial will drop on 30 April from Born and Bred Records. The band has begun to take pre-orders.
Along with the previously released single “Mick Jones Nicked My Pudding,” “Smash Shit Up,” and “I Wish You Were Here,” Turn Up The Dial will feature the newly released single “Middle Finger.” A somewhat remorseful song about the defiance the members exhibited in their youth, the new cut leans more toward the band’s traditional folky side.
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?
