This band has been around for 30 years, but they entered another demographic with the trump era.
I was checking them out and thought I would share with DU.

They are intense. It is how they roll!

1. One of my favorite bands.

My son and Grandson saw them the last time they were in Reno.

2. That's great.

I guess they travel the world performing.

I dabbled with Punk in college, but I only remember the B-52's.

8. They usually get a room when they go to a show

I'm glad they didn't cause there was a shooting the next morning at the resort.

3. that second video isn't the dropkicks. It's an AI ripoff of them.

4. Oh no! I will take it down.

People can find them on the internet. I apparently have no idea how to detect AI and I watched a video on how to spot AI.

7. Thank you! The main giveaways were that there was just a fake drawing for the visual, the channel was a Canadian

guy, the title was something like "Dropkick Murphy style protest song," and the song simply didn't sound like them.

Here's their official youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@dropkickmurphys

6. That is fantastic!

I heard they did an impromptu concert in a parking lot by Alex's street memorial.
I tried to find a video of it but was unable to find one.
