Dropkick Murphys Release New Single ‘Queen Of Suffolk County’

---

Dropkick Murphys have shared a new single called ‘Queen Of Suffolk County’, from their forthcoming album ‘Turn Up That Dial’.

The track opens with a newscaster introducing the “Queen Of Suffolk County”, before co-lead Ken Casey recounts the exploits of a knife-toting local femme fatale, advising, “You best stay out of her way. She don’t joke, and she don’t play.”

The band’s new album, produced by Ted Hutt, is due out on April 30 via Born & Bred Records. Talking about the new release previously, founder and co-lead vocalist Ken Casey explained, ​”On this record, the overall theme is the importance of music, and the bands that made us who we are. We just hope [the album] takes people’s minds off their troubles.”

“We’re so fortunate and grateful to be in the position to share a little happiness in our own way. Our gratitude levels are off the chart. Twenty-five years ago, somebody bet me 30 bucks I couldn’t form a band with three weeks’ notice to open for his band. As kids, we’d never been out of New England and here we are – we’ve made 10 records and have been all over the globe. If there’s a message to this album, it’s, ​‘Put your fist up and play it loud.’”

The band also teased a video for the track, that’s to come later this month.
