Dropkick Murphys at Annexet,Stockholm, jan 2013 (Concert Review)

Will soon be posted, hang in there!

How the Bristol band “Disruptive Influence” got banned from the pub. And proved that the are worthy their name.

They´re were Booked to play a pub gig in Bristol UK, in advance they warned the landlord that they were a punk band that say what they want and go mental in which he replied, "Lads, say whatever the fuck you want", so they took this on board. The day of the gig the lads started setting up and had a few pints, after the support bands had finished Disruptive Influence went on stage, it´s important to note at this point the lead singer were pretty sloshed and he might have said the “C” word a lot This was quite in its order, because the landlord said they could do as they pleased, Then the jolly singer started to mosh on the tables. Like in any great gig, everyone loved it.

After while the band of the nights success were packing up, the landlord comes up to them and giving them bollocks about foul language and told them not to bother showing our faces ever again.

That is how DI got banned from a local boozer.

A brilliant career move for any punk band that want to do something important. Brilliant!

Dropkick Murphys - Signed And Sealed In Blood (CD Review)

“The Boys Are Back” was the first song of the Dropkick Murphys new album “Signed and Sealed in Blood” I heard. I thought it was fair then, not more. I thought it was a bit too Jolly and sentimental in a comic book manner. But the song grow with time and today I really like it. Then it was Christmas time.
“The Season Upon Us” is a more sentimental Christmas type of song in the tradition of the Pogues classic “Fairytale of New York”, possible the best Christmas song ever made after silent night. Anyone that steps into that territory are out on deep water, first I was skeptical, then it was clear to me if someone going to  do it, it was going to be the DKM. Actually I think they did it quite beautiful.
Now that was the eventually hesitation of this records are done. On to the Gold.
Tunes as ”Burn” and ”Rose Tattoo” I can probably already dub as classic DKM tunes. Backed up by the rest set of songs, especially “My Hero”, “Out of the Town” and “Out of our heads”. There are no dull or OK tunes on this 12 track album, which makes this a right through good record, possible at the end of the year might end up as one of the pearls of this year. This years perfect CD for your car either your are cruising in the sunshine looking for chicks or going to work.
Definitely one of the best Dropkick Murphys records ever made in competition with “Sing Loud…” and “Do or Die”.


Worth buying? HELL YES, buy one for you old man, mother in law and best friend as well.

Deadly Parking Lot Violence at Punk Concert.

Deadly violence at Californian punk rock concert in Alpine Village. A brawl that started at a Agression concert spilled over in the parking lot brawl where one person was shot and another was stabbed. One of them died.

According to Torrence police the incidents seems separated to each other, but happened in the same place.

I guess this will put fire on the debate that rised since the last weeks death shooting in the USA, President Obamas threat to change the gun laws and the NRA´s manifestations at Gun Appreciation Day (where five persons was wounded from stray bullets). http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-gun-appreciation-day-five-injured-at-three-different-gun-shows-20130119,0,2727285.story?fb_ref=fb_widget

Even within the american punk community there have been discussions however guns are good or bad.

Tant Strul´s (Aunt Fuzz) Nike write about unemployment

Nike Markelius, drummer in Tant Strul (aka as Aunt Fuzz in english) and röda orkester, as well as singer in Nike och Gurra back in the 80ies, have written a report about her situation post surgery and unemployed. The way she is treated by the authorities in nowdays the conservative-liberal Sweden. It is often said that authors such as Stieg Larsson have changed the picture of the paradise, Sweden. Well reallity have changed in our beloved northern country, the conservatives have made it their mission to bring it to it´s knees.

The NHL are back. Murphys looking for trouble

http://video.bruins.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=662&id=194058&cmpid=embed-share-video

The NHL season is on, finally. Dropkick Murphys do what they can to support their team the classic Boston Bruins with their new song "The Boys Are Back". But I think the boys were looking for trouble being on the strike and lock out. I wonder how many players was then singing "Which Side Are You On"? 

BTW Let´s Go Rangers.....and remember that "Potvin Sucks"
