Dropkicking Everyone

In anticipation of a new compilation of rare tracks and b-side single releases, The Singles Collection, Volume 2: 1998 – 2004, in stores Tuesday, March 8, Dropkick Murphys will be performing five shows over four days for their annual St. Patrick’s Day event March 17th – 20th at the Avalon Ballroom in Boston. Dropkick Murphys are currently in the studio working on their follow up to 2003’s “Blackout” with their fifth, as yet untitled, album due for release in June 2005.

The second in a series of compilation albums from Dropkick Murphys, The Singles Collection 2 is a chronicle of the band’s unique anthemic rock sound, mixing Celtic folk and aggressive street punk. Unlike traditional greatest hits albums The Singles Collection 2 is an extensive anthology of the band’s favorite songs from 7” singles, split EP’s, tribute albums and compilations over the past 6 years, including tracks from the European only release of the single “Walk Away” and their most recent single release “Tessie”.
