The Dropkick Murphys will enter the studio in January to begin recording their fourth studio album, recently announced as "Blackout." The album has a tentative release date of June 10th 2003. Also, the band is putting their DVD release on hold until 2004 so they can collect more footage than just last year's St. Patrick's Day Show. The DVD will include interviews and home videos from the band's early years to the present, including the events surrounding the upcoming album.
