Dropkick Murphys are releasing an album that will be unlike anything the Boston punk band has been known for: they set Woody Guthrie's words to music on "This Machine Still Kills Fascists."

 

In the 10 songs on "This Machine Still Kills Fascists," Dropkick Murphys translate Woody Guthrie's eternal jibes against life - many of them from the 1940s and '50s - into the present, with the resulting music eerily relevant to today's world. And all without their usual arsenal of electric guitars. In fact, not a single amp was used, but DKM used all their power to bring Woody's lyrics to life.
