Much of The Dropkick Murphys (more HERE) surprising success is attributable to their focus on making giant-sized punk-folk-rock sound work both in arenas/stadiums/diamonds and movie theaters. By bringing the likes of the Bruins and Scorsese to their side, they've been able to prosper in this musician-unfriendly century. Whether you think they're simply formulaic or impressively consistent (as I do) you have to admire their survival skills.
MRML is a blog about the devestating effects of culture: music, politics, comics plus etc. blah blah blah. At times MRML will post fine, unpurchasable three-chord obscurica (punk, pop-punk, new wave, mod, power-pop, gospel, reggae, hardcore, rockabilly, folk, country...whatever.) - - - - - - "The otherwise unavailable files in this blog are posted for a limited time and are intended for educational, non-commercial use.

Re: Re-Ups
MRML does not plan to restore all of the content lost in The Great Mediafire Gutting of 2012. Polite requests may be made in the appropriate section, regular commenters will get priority.
Caps & Bottles is their best song, by far, I think. Of a very early E.P. Can't remember the name.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that track's a nice little ass-kicker.
