Galvanizing modern classic rock trio THE BLACK MOODS are excited to announce their new single, an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues,” which features none other than The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger himself and rock singer-songwriter Diamante. The track will be available digitally Friday, October 20; pre-save it HERE. Recorded at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound, the band recorded the cover with most of the same gear used by The Doors in its original recording, keeping its nostalgic and gritty sound while allowing THE BLACK MOODS to add their modern flair. THE BLACK MOODS—JOSH KENNEDY (vocals, guitar), CHICO DIAZ (drums), and JORDAN HOFFMAN (bass)—have today (October 19) debuted the music video for “Roadhouse Blues (feat. Robby Krieger and Diamante),” which features live footage from the recording session. Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“The Doors have meant a lot to us, from our band name to the way we approach playing and songwriting,” shares KENNEDY. “Getting to record this song with Robby 53 years after he recorded it with The Doors is something I can’t describe…just unbelievable. Having Diamante add her incredible vocals on it just took it over the top.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says KRIEGER. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods.  They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

“‘Roadhouse Blues’ was the first rock song I ever performed on a stage, so when The Black Moods, whose classic rock vibe I really dig, asked if I wanted to sing on their version alongside THE Robby Krieger, it was an absolute yes from me,” exclaims Diamante. “Recording the song was a very full circle moment and an all-around epic experience.”

THE BLACK MOODS have partnered with Gibson to host a guitar giveaway contest surrounding the single for an Epiphone hand-signed guitar by all three band members, Robby Krieger, and Diamante. The deadline to enter is Friday, November 17 and a winner will be announced on Monday, November 20 across the band’s socials. U.S.-based fans only can enter to win now at https://theblackmoods.com/signed-guitar-giveaway/.

THE BLACK MOODS play raw, amplified rock & roll. A classic power trio for the modern world, they turn the genre’s timeless ingredients—electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive punch—into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic. Based out of Phoenix, AZ, the band have relentlessly toured across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms and made festival appearances at Aftershock and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The trio released their fourth album INTO THE NIGHT in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down) which was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” It also saw THE BLACK MOODS release their own limited-edition beer, “Hollywood & Lime,” with Phoenix’s Walter Station Brewery as well as a limited-release bourbon “Bad News Bourbon” via Phoenix’s SanTan Brewing Company.

THE BLACK MOODS’ seminal 2020 album SUNSHINE earned the band four Top 30 singles–including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock radio charts. The band have garnered strong hometown support throughout their career including cover features from Entertainer! Magazine and Phoenix New Times in addition to features and appearances via The Arizona Republic, AZFamily (CBS5) “Good Morning Arizona,” Arizona PBS, and a half-time performance for the Phoenix Suns (NBA) 2022 semi-finals game.

Indigenous/Persian Pop-Punk/Hip-Hop Artist CHLOE STAR Releases New Single “Fool” Produced by Kevin Thrasher (Gwen Stefani, Blink 182)

DT: OCTOBER 19, 2023

FM: KELLY WALSH / SRO PR

LOS ANGELES-BASED INDIGENOUS / PERSIAN POP ARTIST
CHLOE STAR
DEBUTS NEW SINGLE
“FOOL”
TODAY, OCTOBER 19

STREAM HERE

DEBUT EP DUE IN 2024 WITH PRODUCER
KEVIN THRASHER (GWEN STEFANI, BLINK 182, MACHINE GUN KELLY)

“Cuz I’m foolish
Screw this
Nobody taught me to do this”

Emerging pop-punk/hip-hop artist CHLOE STAR underlines learning life lessons the hard way in her new single “Fool,” out today, October 19 across digital platforms, stream it HERE. Born and raised in San Bernardino, CA, CHLOE embraces her Indigenous and Persian heritage to amplify her unique sound along with inspiration from music idols ranging from icons such as Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain to modern-day artists including Jessie Rayes, Billie Eilish, and Willow. CHLOE has aligned with producer Kevin Thrasher (Gwen Stefani, Blink 182, Machine Gun Kelly) on her upcoming as-yet-untitled debut EP due in early 2024 which will include “Fool” among two previously released singles and additional new tracks. A cinematic music video for “Fool” is set to be released on Thursday, November 2.

“I wrote this song while I was in a place where I thought every decision I was making was foolish. Foolish, because I wasn’t given any instruction manual on how to move through life,” says CHLOE. “I didn’t have any proper examples set when it came to intimate relationships, friendships, or self-love which kinda just set me up for failure.”

On recording her new EP with Kevin Thrasher, CHLOE adds: “Working with Thrasher was a musical awakening because I finally found someone who understood me musically. He was able to really push me to the next level as an artist and I am so grateful for that. His process is so admirable. Being able to watch how he works puts a lot into perspective when it comes to production. Also, it was just so much fun being in the studio with him!”

CHLOE released her debut single “Element” in January and soon followed it up with “Straight Girls” in March which garnered over 64K YouTube views. “Straight Girls” was praised by Earmilk for exploring her sexuality with “honest and empowering production” and its “lush electro-pop vocal lines laid over catchy instrumentals framed by trap-infused beats” while also hailing CHLOE as “an act to watch out for.”

British rock luminaries ASKING ALEXANDRIA are excited to announce their current single “Psycho” has landed a No.1 spot on Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts this week and has consecutively stayed at the #1 position on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts for the third week in a row.

Having received over 2 million streams and 1 million video views the electrifying track is taken from their critically acclaimed eighth album, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?, released in August via Better Noise Music. ASKING ALEXANDRIABen Bruce (lead guitar), Danny Worsnop (vocals), Cameron Liddell (rhythm guitar), Sam Bettley (bass) and James Cassells (drums)—previously earned their first #1 rock radio single with 2021’s “Alone Again” from their debut release via Better Noise Music, See What’s On The Inside and have established themselves as one of the most important rock bands of this generation through years of hard touring, four RIAA Gold-certified singles, two #1 albums and several Top 10 hits.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has listened and is listening to this song and a huge thank you to everyone behind the scenes helping it climb the charts and reach new audiences,” states ASKING ALEXANDRIA lead guitarist BEN BRUCE. “It’s exciting reaching new goals and it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team and our incredible fans. Thank you all so much.”

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? was produced and mixed by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, From First To Last), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Deftones, Metallica) and Will Borza. The album is a culmination of the band’s career, melding their flagship sound with experimental electronics while its lyrics cover the band’s trademark themes of disenchantment, loss, anxiety, and dejection. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? is available now on CD, cassette, vinyl and digital download at https://askingalexandria.ffm.to/wdwgfh.

“Brit metal heroes Asking Alexandria dive into their deep bag of influences for an accomplished and gripping eighth studio offering … veering from blast furnace metalcore to surprisingly deft melodic arrangements with apparent ease.”
Kerrang! (8/22)

A heady cocktail of energy, anthems, stomps, choruses, riffs, chugs, electro-pulses, great dynamics… ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ feels like a band all in the zone and up for re-planting their flag. And this isn’t a free-for-all, the overall tone across the album is emphatic, vibrant contemporary rock, but with a little more shaking it up than for a little while.
Ghost Cult Magazine (8/23)

ASKING ALEXANDRIA recently wrapped a co-headlining tour across the U.S. with Better Noise Music labelmates THE HU which saw the band perform at several major rock festivals including Rocklahoma, Louder than Life and Blue Ridge Rock Festival. KNAC praised their performance stating: “Asking Alexandria hit the stage will all of the excitement and raw energy that their fans have come to expect. Touring in support of their new album ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ the setlist included new songs as well as some of their older and heavier favorites, giving everyone something to savor. As he (Worsnop) transitioned from melodies to screams, his voice remained flawless.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are getting listeners in the mood for Halloween season by releasing a new EP SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL.1) via Better Noise Music. The four-track EP, out today (Friday, October 13), features four occult-driven tracks which cater to the band’s potent blend of modern rock anthems molded with emo and pop-punk theatrics. Of the four tracks, two are covers of iconic songs from artists that have inspired THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s vibrant sound: Radiohead’s “Creep” (released this past August in partnership with The Hot Topic Foundation to support non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens) and Tears For Fears’Mad World.” Stream and/or download SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL. 1) now at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/sfbtavol1.

“’Sounds From Beyond The Abyss (Volume 1)’ was designed to be a fun departure, something to hold over fans while we finish up the steps towards our full record release,” shares vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “Within the lore of our band; it represents secret tracks, hidden away to be discovered by some unlucky Samaritan. Occult sounds meant to hypnotize the listener with music from an alternate reality. Which is to explain the case of covers & alternate versions of original songs. A ‘what if?’ scenario for our fans and ourselves.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT have shared a lyric video for their hypnotizing “Mad World” cover, released today alongside the SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL.1) EP. Watch it streaming now via YouTube below or HERE.

“Anyone who has met the band for more than 45 seconds can tell that we’re all big Donnie Darko fans, so when the question of a new cover came up, ‘Mad World’ was an obvious answer,” says JENNINGS. “Drawing more from the Gary Jules rendition than the Tears For Fears original, this cover of ours is all about the mood and vibe. Finding the balance between capturing the essence of The Funeral Portrait alongside the Samhain spirit for Halloween was the tightrope we had to walk and we’re very happy with the outcome.”

Lauded as “easily one of folk and Americana music’s most prolific singer-songwriters,” (Americana Highways), JEREMY SQUIRES announces his fourth release via Blackbird Record Label and 12th overall album, RIDDLE OF STARS, due out November 17. Digital pre-saves are available HERE. RIDDLE OF STARS was written, performed, and produced entirely by the singer, songwriter, and musician following the loss of his longtime musical collaborator, drummer and friend, Carlos Ventura. What started out as an electric album transformed into a collection of nine heart-stirring songs, including one that was originally written as a poem as a goodbye for his friend’s funeral (“Blood Pact”). Throughout, SQUIRES uses carefully crafted minimalism, primarily by way of guitar finger-picking, piano, and the occasional pedal steel guitar or organ to create haunting dreamscapes. Listening to his songs, you can easily imagine a camera moving in for revealing close-ups.

RIDDLE OF STARS track listing:
1. Valley
2. Blood Pact
3. Play Dead
4. Omens
5. Vampires
6. Carousels
7. Please Stay
8. Heart Swell
9. Graveyard

SQUIRES has today (October 6) shared the music video for the deeply moving debut track, “Play Dead,” which can be seen streaming below or via YouTube HERE. The video was co-directed by SQUIRES and his 14-year-old daughter Violet against a backdrop of the Trent and Neuse rivers near their hometown of North Bern, NC and Lake Worth Beach, FL where they will soon begin a new chapter of life. Stream or download “Play DeadHERE.

“When I wrote ‘Play Dead,’ I was in a place in my life where I thought it was impossible to escape a toxic cycle,” reveals SQUIRES. “I felt stuck in this constant loop and had to leave by any means possible. Writing and recording this song was very cathartic but at the same time very hard. ‘Play Dead’ captures my exact feelings the moment that I was able to leave and the feelings that I was crippled with at that time in my life.”

Discussing the “Play Dead” video, SQUIRES shares: “This video was shot in both Florida and North Carolina by both me and my daughter, Violet. It was absolutely amazing being able to spend time with my daughter and teach her about lighting, photography and videography. We had such rad time. She has an amazing eye for capturing imagery that a lot of people don’t take the time to notice, she sees things so creatively. Violet is willing to learn and you can see it in her eyes. I was very proud to be able to share this experience with her. ‘Play Dead’ might be my favorite song on the album and it’s definitely my favorite video.”

SQUIRES consistently holds space for his artistic expression in more than one medium, living and breathing within cycles of poetry, photography and music. His childhood hometown of Inner Banks, NC has steadfastly served as the inspiration for his music. Raised by his grandmother, and the son of a published poet, his mother, and a father that gifted him a flea market guitar when he was a child, SQUIRES began teaching himself to play by way of writing songs and learning Bad Religion and Nirvana songs, eventually leading him into forming punk bands.

SQUIRES and VENTURA met at age 12 and 13, the beginning of nearly three decades of brotherhood and artistic collaboration. “We were musical soulmates,” says SQUIRES. Neither one of them formally trained, the two experimented with bands before officially becoming a professionally touring band, Andrea’s Truth, playing shows at venues and skate parks up and down the east coast. In a surprising turn of events, after recording their debut album, the studio burned down with their files. However, fans initiated a network of passing around bootleg VHS tapes from their live shows which in turn secured their mark and influence on a thriving indie punk music scene in their region.

Becoming a father at only age 21, SQUIRES took a job at a faucet factory and paused from touring for several years until he returned in 2005 to his career in music, photography, and restoring vintage guitars. This is when he began learning to record on his own, playing all instruments with VENTURA adding drums on multiple songs throughout his catalogue, unfortunately passing suddenly before being able to track drums for RIDDLE OF STARS.

“Crooked Politicians and frauds, with such big balls. I’ll see you in hell”

CROSSBONE SKULLY—the exciting new multidimensional project led by mastermind Tommy Henriksen (guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper’s band & member of Hollywood Vampires)—have today (October 6) released their incendiary new single “The Boom Went The Boom,” featuring Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen, across digital platforms. The track is the second taste of new music from CROSSBONE SKULLY’s debut album due in 2024 via Better Noise Music. Legendary producer Mutt Lange emerged from retirement to executive produce the album and was reunited with Collen on this track after having produced and co-wrote several of Def Leppard’s monumental albums. “The Boom Went The Boom” is available today digitally HERE and a lyric video highlighting its rebellious message is streaming HERE or below. A music video for the song will be premiered on Friday, October 13 which will reveal the lineup for CROSSBONE SKULLY’s live band.

CROSSBONE SKULLY also announced the first of what will be a series of limited-edition 7” vinyl singles. This first 7” vinyl will feature “The Boom Went The Boom (feat. Phil Collen of Def Leppard)” and a yet-to-be-announced B-side track and will be available exclusively to order through the band’s Spotify page HERE. Each will come with a limited-edition signed copy of CROSSBONE SKULLY’sThing #1” ashcan comic. Proceeds from the sale of the limited edition 7” vinyl will be donated to the 501(c)(3) charity MusiCares who offer preventive, emergency, and recovery programs for musicians and music industry workers in times of need.

Describing the new track, HENRIKSEN says: “Like dynamite beneath deceit, ‘The Boom Went The Boom’ reveals the truth’s explosive power in song, shattering masks and echoing the reckoning of lies, for when trust erodes, The Misfits Will Rise!”

“I love the Crossbone Skully record and I’ve always loved Tommy’s voice, especially as we’ve got to sing live together a few times,” shares COLLEN. “I’ve always wanted to hear that voice on something like this, so here it is, finally! I’m totally thrilled to be a part of it!”

CROSSBONE SKULLY’s debut single “Evil World Machine” was originally released on the soundtrack for the 2022 thriller The Retaliators (Better Noise Films) and its music video was premiered later that year at Fan Expo in San Francisco. CROSSBONE SKULLY also represents the band’s mascot and main character of their graphic novel and animated film, “Thing #1,” which were also revealed at Fan Expo. For the film, HENRIKSEN enlisted several of his bandmates and friends for voiceovers on both the album and the upcoming film including A-list actor Johnny Depp and rock icons including Alice Cooper, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry and Kane Roberts.

The forthcoming debut album features HENRIKSEN on vocals and bass and was recorded by a sterling group of musicians including guitarist Tommy Denander (Alice Cooper), keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac (My Chemical Romance, John Mayer, Seal), bassist Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley, the Cult, Ozzy Osbourne), drummer Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), the late UFO bassist Pete Way and producer/mixer Mike Plotnikoff (AC/DC, Cher, Aerosmith).

“The ‘Sell the World’ music video is the first-ever animated music video from The HU,” shares THE HU’s producer DASHKA. “It’s our way of expressing the love we have for our earth. From the name of the song to the content of the video, we use sarcasm and exaggeration to show the unpleasantness of the world. It was easier to use the graphics and 3Ds to create visuals for the exaggerated message that the song has in its lyrics. Throughout past albums, The HU’s songs positively reinforce the message of protecting the earth and keeping nature intact. However, on this video we took a completely different, polar opposite approach to the song’s message by reminding listeners of the limited resources of this earth. The female in the video represents the mother earth we are singing about.”

RUMBLE OF THUNDER: DELUXE VERSION is available now via digital download or on cd, cassette and various special edition vinyl offerings at: https://thehu.ffm.to/rumblethunderdeluxe. The extended album includes seven new tracks including four acoustic songs and three newly recorded singles featuring guest musicians including William Duvall (Alice In Chains), Serj Tankian, DL (Bad Wolves) and LP.

In coordination with the “Sell The World” video debut, THE HU have today (October 3) announced the support acts—Finnish nu-metal group Blind Channel and California-based rockers NERV—for their upcoming headlining U.S. “Warrior Souls” West Coast tour. The “Warrior Souls” tour kicks off on October 9 in San Francisco, CA and wraps October 26 in Phoenix, AZ. Currently, THE HU are on the last leg of their co-headlining “Psycho Thunder” U.S. tour with Asking Alexandria and will appear this weekend at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA. Upcoming dates can be found listed below. For tickets and limited VIP upgrades, please visit: https://www.thehuofficial.com/tour-1.

To date, THE HU have amassed over 329 million combined streams across digital platforms, 290 million video views, two Top 5 Mainstream Rock charting radio singles and a RIAA Gold Certification for 2019’s groundbreaking viral single, “Wolf Totem. The band have sold-out worldwide headlining tours and appeared at the world’s biggest music festivals (Download, Coachella, Lollapalooza) all while receiving critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, GQ, The Guardian, The Independent, Revolver and Billboard, along with garnering a celebrity fanbase including Sir Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg and Wayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, THE HU are a modern rock group rooted in the tradition of their homeland. The band’s name translates to the Mongolian root word for “human being,” and their unique approach blends traditional Mongolian instruments land throat singing with contemporary sounds, creating a unique sonic profile that they call “Hunnu Rock.” They received the highest state award in Mongolia, the Order of Genghis Khan from the President of Mongolia, Kh. Battulga in 2020, for their achievements.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter HEATHER ANNE LOMAX has spent the greater part of the past decade putting her own spin on the Americana and Country-Rock/Blues genres. LOMAX has signed to Blackbird Record Label for THE DOMAN TRACKS—her forthcoming album and third overall—that’s due November 3 and today (September 29) has released its roots-rocking debut track “Heavy Load.” Stream/download it now HERE and watch the video HERE or streaming below.

THE DOMAN TRACKS is a previously unheard collaboration of original songs recorded with the late MICHAEL DOMAN, formerly the singer-songwriter-producer of the noted ‘80s L.A. rock band Broken Homes. LOMAX and DOMAN cut the intimate material during two years of recording sessions with LOMAX taking lead vocals, Doman singing duet and background vocals, and LOMAX, DOMAN, and JEFF SEBENS on guitar. The sessions, all cut live, also featured support from other local players, with engineer JASON HILLER’s bass parts added later. The recordings were set aside, but LOMAX returned to them after DOMAN’s untimely death from a brain ailment in December of 2020. See the album’s cover art and track listing below. Pre-order THE DOMAN TRACKS digitally at https://smithmusic.ffm.to/662582993226

“‘Heavy Load’ was written actually as a country song first, and Michael wanted to do it with more of a Stones groove,” shares LOMAX. “He actually added the last verse, which has become a sing-along at live shows. The context of the song was written in the midst of slogging it out as a single mom, and wondering if I should use the money I had to buy shoes or more food for the week.”

On collaborating with DOMAN, she says: “I chose to work with Michael, because I really respected his work as a songwriter and performer. He had an aesthetic that resonated with me, and I knew that he wouldn’t settle for anything less than excellence.”

The music video for “Heavy Load” premiered yesterday, September 28, via Wildfire Music who lauded the track stating “‘Heavy Load’ is both a confessional track that seems to speak from a position of self-knowledge and one that’s particularly accessible because of its direct lyricism. Not only unpretentious in its admissions of being ‘in need of healing,’ delivering a message from a ‘troubled soul,’ the song also has underlying Country and Blues elements that contribute to the emotional plea. The confidence of the Rock ‘n Roll delivery helps carry those traditions forward.”

ROOTS ROCK REBEL Cover Artwork

Boston-bred singer-songwriter and guitarist JESSE AHERN’s new album, ROOTS ROCK REBEL, was released Friday, September 15, and marks his debut release via Dropkick MurphysDummy Luck Music / [PIAS] record label. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Ted Hutt (Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, The Gaslight Anthem), ROOTS ROCK REBEL is an East Coast mosaic of gritty rock ‘n’ roll and roots inspiration with Americana-style storytelling told in the idiom of a street performer. The 10-track album “creates a meaningful call to action in the tradition of great rambling American buskers,” as proclaimed by SPIN who praised its debut single “Pray” as “a foot-stomping, modern-gospel anthem.” Stream/download ROOTS ROCK REBEL now, as well as pre-order a copy of the album on CD and vinyl (due October 20) at www.jesseahern.com.

JESSE has shared a new music video for the humbling single “The Older I Get” which features guest musicians Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys and country singer-songwriter Jaime Wyatt. The video was directed by Mike Rivkees. Watch “The Older I Get (feat. Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys and Jaime Wyatt)” music video streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“‘The Older I Get’ was almost a throwaway song,” says JESSE. “I had been playing an earlier version of it while on tour in 2022, but something was missing. I brought the song to [producer] Ted Hutt, and he helped me make it the singalong it is now. While on the road with Jaime, she had asked if she could sing it with me onstage and it was a hit, so featuring her was a no-brainer. I felt the last verse was perfect for Ken and am honored that he was up for the task.”

“Everybody’s out there trying to be something they are not, trying to sell an image and a product. Selling their soul for a like or a follow,” CASEY states. “Jesse is the polar opposite. His music, his personality, his core brings me back to the days when none of that mattered. Simpler times when what you saw is what you got. PURE. And this song is Jesse at his best.”

“I met Jesse on tour, we were both opening for Dropkick Murphys and the first song that made me run to the side stage to hear better was ‘The Older I Get,’” shares WYATT. “I instantly started singing a harmony.  I was drawn to the humility and wisdom of the lyrics in that song. The verses are dreamy and universal. Jesse Ahern is a really special dude, which makes him such an insightful writer. He’s lived to tell a lot of amazing stories and I cannot wait for the rest of the world to fall in love with his music, like I did.”

JESSE will be seen performing the music from ROOTS ROCK REBEL including previous singles “Pray” and the pro-labor and unionization anthem “Back Against The Wall” as he joins longtime touring partners and friends DROPKICK MURPHYS on their headlining U.S. tour this fall alongside The Interrupters.
