Dropkick Murphys and Lucero announce Australian tour
On their seventh full-length studio album, Going Out In Style, Dropkick Murphys throw a new kind of party. It's a raucous and rollicking romp overflowing with punk rock energy, folk soul, and Irish spirit. Fueled by fiery riffs and unforgettable choruses, Going Out In Style traces the journey of Cornelius Larkin, whether it's the Irish immigrant's first person account of his own wake or the band's in depth interpretation of his life and lineage throughout the album's lyrics, it's the party to end all parties.Frontman Al Barr describes the band's evolution on record number seven.

Frontman Al Barr describes the band's evolution on record number seven. "As you progress in your career, you want to challenge yourself and never make the same record twice. This album was different because we were telling someone's story. Yes, it starts with a rowdy out-of-control wake. As the story goes back to explore the long life of the character Cornelius, we really started to become engrossed in the story and life of this man."
Joining them will be alt-country/punk rock band, Lucero. The six-piece has built its reputation on writing sing-along songs about small town life and love, putting a modern edge on classic Americana subjects. The members may look like tattooed tough guys, but they write resonant songs that tug the heartstrings of even the most hardened rock fan.
