Dropkick Murphys share frenetic new single ‘Sirens’ and announce 2025 UK tour

Dropkick Murphys have released their fiery new single ‘Sirens’, and announced a 2025 UK tour. Find more details below.

The iconic punk band have released the single as the first hint of a new album, set to be released next year.

Defined by an intense guitar riff and frontman Ken Casey’s signature frenetic vocals, the track is a commentary on the growing social divide in America, which Casey says is benefiting billionaires in the country. “For nearly a decade, the division has grown deeper, darker and uglier — dividing families and ending friendships,” he has said in a press release. “Nobody enjoys this more than the billionaires, who are making record profits off the working class.

“They love it when we fight amongst ourselves, because their biggest fear is us joining together to come after them…THE REAL ENEMY.”
