The Boston band's new song takes aim at the Trump administration
The Dropkick Murphys have announced their new album For The People, set for release on July 4.
The record will be the band’s 13th studio album. It includes 12 tracks featuring collaborations with musicians such as Billy Bragg, The Scratch, The Mary Wallopers and Al Barr. The album closes with a tribute to the late Shane MacGowan of The Pogues.
The band also released a new single 'Who’ll Stand With Us?', the first from their forthcoming longplayer.
The song addresses themes of class division and social injustice in the United States. The music video shows people being disappeared, a reference to the Trump administration's recent mass deportations.
'Who’ll Stand With Us?' is "a call for unity, a return to sanity, and a look at what – and who – is really dividing us... When the billionaires and broligarchs get done neutering society, what’s left for the rest of us? The song aims to frame class warfare for what it is," read a statement from the band.
