Nothing like politics to get people talking !! We are seeing many quotes and speculations on what our thoughts are. Not to get sucked into the political drama, but we want to set the record straight, and show you the statement the official statement that we sent to those who have been chasing us for a comment: STATEMENT FROM DROPKICK MURPHYS REGARDING GOV. SCOTT WALKER USING IM SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON: The bottom line is: when a politician uses our music to walk out to, for better or worse, it brands us with that person. If one our favorite teams rivals, such as the Montreal Canadiens, used a Dropkick Murphys song when they took the ice, wed be equally displeased. We feel that we have the right to ask to not be associated with certain events or people - we dont think thats too much to ask. This isnt a legal issue to us—were not looking to sue someone. Yes, our words were a little harsh, but it was borne out of frustration with past history of Wisconsin Republicans, such as Jeff Fitzgerald, using our music. The band has stood for and aligned itself with certain principles since its inception in 1996, so people who react as though were jumping on some sort of political bandwagon simply dont know the history of the band. We are what we are, we believe what we believe—and for the most part, try to leave our politics to our lyrics. OK, thats that. Time to start shoveling !
