Boston rock 'n' roll vagabonds Dropkick Murphys have released their brand new single, 'Queen Of Suffolk County' - an anthem taken from their upcoming album Turn Up That Dial.

The track opens with a newscaster introducing the 'Queen Of Suffolk County' as co-lead vocalist Ken Casey recounts the exploits of a knife-toting local femme fatale, advising, “You best stay out of her way. She don’t joke, and she don’t play.” The up-tempo song brings in the best elements of both rock and traditional Celtic soundscapes, with the usual playful personality of the group on show.

Their spirited new offering follows the album’s previous tongue-in-cheek single 'Middle Finger', which was accompanied by a Kes Glozier-directed video shot in London just before the band’s last show prior to the pandemic.

Turn Up That Dial was produced by Ted Hutt and is available for pre-order now. With 11 tracks, Dropkick Murphys celebrate the simple pleasure of music, the relief and release from worry that comes when you “turn up that dial” and blast your troubles away.

The ever-charismatic Dropkick Murphys is comprised of Al Barr and Ken Casey on lead vocals, Tim Brennan on guitars, tin whistle, accordion, piano, vocals' Jeff DaRosa on guitars, banjo, mandolin, vocals; Matt Kelly playing drums and percussion; James Lynch on guitars and vocals, touring bassist Kevin Rheault and bagpipe player Lee Forshner. The outfit's annual St. Patrick’s Day livestream '...Still Locked Down' has logged over one million views so far this year, and landed at #1 on Pollstar's Live Stream chart last week.

Since 1996, the underdog band been adding to their catalogue of rallying calls for champions. With a celebrated discography including 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior’s Code and the near double platinum classic 'I’m Shipping Up To Boston'; they’ve moved over eight million units worldwide. Among many accolades, they’ve earned three Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200, generated half-a-billion streams, and sold out gigs on multiple continents. Not bad at all, we say...
