Bath tub booze and snow balls in side. This song/video reminds of my ma's side of the family.

likeaparasite (March 2, 2011)

Does the title mean it's their last album, or is it just referring to them dressing snappy when they go out in public?

regreteverything (March 2, 2011)

One can hope

xbat-mitex (March 2, 2011)

I hope they go away too. This is mainly due to my bitterness of the loss of the 2 better Boston bands Toxic Narcotic, & Mouth Sewn Shut.

poser

bouncingcoles (March 2, 2011)

This girl i used to be friends with is in the crowded party scenes next to ken casey. i heard she had sex with dicky barrot of the might mighty bosstones. i was disappointed.

akmofo (March 2, 2011)

Best funeral ever?

oldpunkerforever (March 2, 2011)

I just picked this up yesterday and I just want to say that this cd is a giant middle finger to all the punks who have turned their back on these guys. This is some of their best stuff in years. period. I hate Springsteen and even he sounds good on here. One more thing, all the people who shout "gimmick" on these guys are crazy , 15 years aint no gimmick, thats just great music-oldpunker-

akmofo (March 2, 2011)

I agree... the CD is really good!

TheMike (March 2, 2011)

Yeah, it's one of their best releases. They've finally found the perfect blend of the punk and celtic influences. Makes the whole thing a lot less spotty and a lot more sophisticated.

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

I love both of you for actually buying CDs. iPods are for commie pinko bastards.

bastard_squad (March 2, 2011)

Yeah, down with Apple, up with Phillips! Ugh.

Misanthropee (March 3, 2011)

Yes, I want all my hardware and software and media to come from the same source. Perfectly reasonable. What could go wrong?

Dedricthere (March 2, 2011)

Lost of asshole jocks who hate punk love them. Gimmick !

Haanz (March 2, 2011)

Bands don't pick their fans.

77punker (March 2, 2011)

Agree with you oldpunker, very good cd.......stoked to see them this week with Off With Their Heads!!!

froggerwithmylife (March 3, 2011)

Oh my god I love you so much,

eazyd3 (March 2, 2011)

speaking of are ireland bout to beat that muthafuckin poms!?! cmon boys!!

eazyd3 (March 2, 2011)

aahahahahahahahahhaahah

regreteverything (March 2, 2011)

Honestly? Underwhelmed.

eazyd3 (March 2, 2011)

kids who like punk music with irish influences songs about working class and drinking who get labelled bros and faux wannabe irish by fat bearded cocksmokers are stoked.

this song is cool :)

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

Don't have a beard, not fat, not a bro, not "working class", don't smoke cock, but totally stoked.

mattramone (March 2, 2011)

Wait, what's their ethnic background? Serbian?

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

Who gives a fuck? If Eugene Hutz was a Kenyan paraplegic lesbian, would Gogol rock any less? I think not. Same applies for DKM.

regreteverything (March 2, 2011)

Of course they would rock less. Wheelchairs are fuckin' STURDY.

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

I forgot to mention to part that he/she has robotic legs, a rocket pack and that blaster-arm thingy from Megaman.

mattramone (March 2, 2011)

I was just poking fun at the whole WE'RE FROM BOSTON! AND IRISH! AND FROM BOSTON! WHISKEY! IRISH! thing they have going on.

SurfAndDestroyLBI (March 2, 2011)

Have always been a bit indifferent to anything besides "Do or Die", but this song is fun and I'm probably going to get the record now. I was even just about to buy tickets to one of their shows with Against Me! ... and then I saw they were $40.00 a piece. No thanks.

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

People who say "Do or Die" is their best stuff do it because they want to sound like they were into the band before they got famous. Do or Die fall short of their later works. No denying it.

regreteverything (March 2, 2011)

Or there are those of us that actually enjoy Do or Die more than anything else they've done. I got bored with DKM being a Dubliners tribute band years ago.

lookingforcorpses (March 2, 2011)

It's funny seeing as they have very little stuff that's as folky/celtic as the Dubliners in my opinion.

ExtraCheesePizza (March 2, 2011)

Or because we like the more punk sounding material from that album and Gangs All Here. I wouldn't mind them going back to sounding like The Bruisers again.

bastard_squad (March 2, 2011)

"because they want to sound like they were into the band before they got famous"

You do know that not everybody that posts here is 15 right?

nickvicious (March 2, 2011)

Speak for yourself, in 94. I remember when "punk" still meant "prison bitch". I'm so old I attended Malcolm McLaren's baptism. I'm so old wooly mammoth was the main course at my first wedding. I'm so old, I invented Latin.

bastard_squad (March 2, 2011)

I don't believe any of the things that you typed.

xbat-mitex (March 2, 2011)

I liked "Do Or Die". Nothing after it.

Some people Just don't enjoy what they do. one album was more than enough for me. Honestly I liked the way Toxic Narcotic used the bagpipes way better than DKM, but it is fair to say that I don't really dig on Trad irish music. I hope to god it's their last but it probably won't be.

This band is so merchy it's disgusting. All the fuck over Hot Topic. Kinda makes them really lame, like The Misfits. Their is nothing more lame than having your band logo appear on EVERYTHING YOU CAN POSSIBLY PUT IT ON. Hey I got an idea lets make a DKM house!

bastard_squad (March 2, 2011)

I don't think you meant to reply to me.

I agree with this:

"I liked "Do Or Die". Nothing after it."

SurfAndDestroyLBI (March 2, 2011)

For the record, I'm 26 and I don't give a flying fart whether you think I've been into band from the moment they started or you think I'm a frat boy who wears airbrused "Irish Pride" t-shirts and got into the band because of the Departed. Having your own taste is fine, but I'll "deny" how awful it is as much as I want. I think you overestimated the strength of the word "indifferent."

OiTheAria69 (March 2, 2011)

"Do or Die" and the two albums following it are my favorites because when I got into the band, these were the only albums out, and they made such an impact on me. But I LOVE the expanding sound. I just think sometimes the albums have their genius moments, good moments, and each album since SLSP (other than this new one) has a shit moment. The first three just have such a great epic flow that make the album feel more like an experience than a collection of songs. That's what I love about this one, they finally got across what they wanted to get across with each track, and it flows perfectly. No douchebag "Shipping up to Boston" songs.

The first three are mainly my favorites due to nostalgia. Can't take away personal feelings you have toward music.

jofx1992 (March 3, 2011)

spoken like the biggest poseur on PN.org

ballsy815 (March 2, 2011)

my cousin and his niece are in this video at the 2:28 mark... never thought either of them would be at the same party as Fat Mike.

craka-ass-craka (March 2, 2011)

On a better note, I caught this tour last week and AM! stole the show!

TheMike (March 2, 2011)

That's nice.

sailin_on (March 2, 2011)

You must tell me what they played?! New or old Am?

ashtraymonument (March 2, 2011)

when I saw them last night they played about half of eternal cowboy, 2 songs from RAR, 2 from New Wave, 2 from SFAFC, and 3 from White Crosses.

I was a happy camper

froggerwithmylife (March 3, 2011)

I kinda find that hard to believe. I'm not slamming AM! it's just Murphys fans usually show up ONLY for the Murphys

craka-ass-craka (March 3, 2011)

I'm not talking about the fans, I'm taking about the bands. AM! was by far the better band that night.

DoubleA (March 2, 2011)

How can anyone not love a video with Bobby Orr, Shawn Thornton and Milan Lucic in it? Although I guess it does also have Fat Mike.

xbat-mitex (March 2, 2011)

Hockey Dudes= Awesome

Fat Mike=Coked Out Fucktard

JaredK (March 2, 2011)

Plus Kevin Youkilis and Lenny from Darkbuster.

jofx1992 (March 3, 2011)

fat mikes got his own thing, hes a punk, if you dont like him or think hes not cleancut enough then your on the wrong site
(this goes to anyone whos says lame shit about fat mike,)

xbat-mitex (March 3, 2011)

Im a punk too and I got my own thing as well. I jjust think that FM s a peice of shit for putting out a 7" with blow on the cover (whether it's real or not,) i would hate for some kid to get hooked on coke because fat mike does it. and yes kids really are that dumb.

Coke has no place in the punk scene, thats a fucking hipster drug

adriel_saint (March 3, 2011)

I dont think ive ever agreed with someone more. Im not anti-drug and I worshiped nofx growing up. But fuck coke and fuck what fat mike has become.

martinNZ09 (March 4, 2011)

Fat Mike is a piece of shit!

-10 punk points for me but so worth it

Chadreligion (March 2, 2011)

Chicks aren't that hot in Boston

regreteverything (March 2, 2011)

this

xbat-mitex (March 2, 2011)

Boston girls may not be so hot but damn will they run off and move back to Boston with your child fi you decide that going to shows is better than spending time with them

Chadreligion (March 2, 2011)

yeah, you better off in California... Home Of The One-Night-Stand!

MrKite (March 2, 2011)

fun video. love the song.can't wait for my cd to show up. why is it you order off the bands site the cd does not show up on the release day but if ordered off interpunk it shows up on the tuesday it gets released? I want to order directly from the band to help them out but it just sucks to wait for the cd.

bastard_squad (March 2, 2011)

I'm pretty sure Interpunk has a wormhole directly to my house, it seems no sooner I order it that it shows up on my doorstep.

FelixT (March 2, 2011)

Where's Al Barr? He only has what... 10 lines in the whole thing? I exaggerate, but Al Barr has a stronger and better voice than Ken Casey's, who couldn't sing to save his life. And Al doesn't even play an instrument to compensate, so do they want to kick him out or what?

onehipsteronebullet (March 2, 2011)

My thoughts since Blackout (weaning Barr off of lead vox, at least... I enjoy Casey as an occasional lead). Actually, what I noticed about this record is they seem to both be singing lead simultaneously more often than usual, with Barr's levels mixed down.

peebux (March 2, 2011)

We need more Al Barr, less Ken Casey.

nofx0516 (March 2, 2011)

To be fair, it is Ken Casey's band, not Al Barr's. But I do like when Barr sings more than when Ken does.

OiTheAria69 (March 2, 2011)

Yes, it's Ken Casey's band, but Ken Casey in the past would not chime in as much as he does now.

I like both of their vocals, but Al's are better. Part of why I had a bias towards the "Warriors Code" album. However, despite Ken doing a bit of vocal-hogging, this is still my favorite post SLSP album. The songwriting speaks for itself, no matter who sings.

MadMaxwell (March 2, 2011)

I saw them in Denver last night with AM! and they played 5 songs off or Do or Die (Never Alone, Skinhead, Road of the Righteous, Boys on the Docks, and Barroom Hero), a few songs off of Gangs All here (Curse of a Fallen Soul, Gangs All Here), Blackout (Workers, Time To Go), Sing Loud (Gauntlet), and the rest was a small, small mix of Warriors Code to the new album. Needless to say, all the punks and skins had a great time at all the expense of all the bros and wannabe Southie douchers. Awesome show!

punkvoter (March 3, 2011)

I saw them in Chicago and it was a similar thing. Alot of new stuff or much older stuff. Not alot of stuff off the last 3 albums. It was kind of an odd show in that a good percentage of the crowd didn't know half the songs.

souls21 (March 2, 2011)

Does anyone else think this sounds more in the direction of a Flogging Molly record rather than a DKM record? I've always said that DKM had more of a punk sound with occasional well placed Irish/Folk elements weaved in and Flogging Molly had mainly an Irish/Folk sound with punk elements weaved in. Now I am enjoying this record, I just think they overdid the Irish this time around. Every song has something going on. I actually really liked TMOT because it had so many straight up punk songs. Opinions?

madcow (March 2, 2011)

My thoughts exactly about sounding like Flogging Molly. I have a feeling this one is going to be frustrating. Its strong musically, but the production sucks. Vocals are turned way down. Also I agree with people who say ''more Al''.

oldschoolguy (March 3, 2011)

Yeah, the above song does not sound like Flogging Molly at all. While most of the songs on this one that are more "Irish" sounding than punk (whatever that means), I think it kicks a lot of ass! "Deeds Not Words" is fucking great, so is "Hang 'em High". fuck it, the whole thing is great! That new Flogging Molly song on the other hand.......

froggerwithmylife (March 3, 2011)

It still has that Murphys feel to me. On a similar not I can't get into the new Flogging Molly song at all which worries me greatly

ReducerSF (March 2, 2011)

Definitely their softer and more irish album to date. And let me say IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

One of their best records. No doubt about it.

Larry_Lawrence (March 3, 2011)

Sounds different than anything they've ever done. And what does the monkey have to do with anything?

Mondo_Matty (March 3, 2011)

Oh sweet, the fucking advertisement loads but not the actual content.

Fuck you Rolling stone

LosPeptobismol (March 3, 2011)

Yeah but the ad is for Garnier Fructis so at least it's punx.

martinNZ09 (March 3, 2011)

2 things.

1 - I am wicked stoked to get my hands on this record
2 - I miss living in New England

druid47 (March 18, 2011)

Makes me want to listen to some real celtic rock/punk music like flogging molly or pogues. Is every song like a shouting sing along with pipes thrown in for good measure?? Pick up a copy of Flogging's "Swagger" next time your swiggin the Jameson......sorry lads......
