For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against the injustices happening in the United States, and does so with the strength and power that harkens back to Dropkick Murphys’ earliest punk rock roots. For The People is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is–and who they’ve always been.
While on tour supporting For The People, Dropkick Murphys have continued to advocate for workers’ rights and human rights–as they have done for their entire 29+ year career–with surprise appearances at many picket lines across the U.S. to support unions fighting for fair wages and better contracts.
The band and the album have received support from media outlets across the spectrum, including The Atlantic(Ken Casey interview with editor Jeffrey Goldberg), MSNBC’s The Beat With Ari Melber, MeidasTouch Network, CNN, Rolling Stone, SPIN.com, NPR (WBUR & WGBH), Kerrang!, Consequence, Stereogum, Guitar World, BrooklynVegan, Billboard, Boston Globe, Boston Herald and many more.
