Dropkick Murphys Share ‘All You Tories’ In Solidarity With UK RMT & NHS Strikers

2 years ago | February 15, 2023 | Written By


Hot off the heels of their highly anticipated run of UK and Irish arena dates, Dropkick Murphys have shared a special live version of ‘All You Tories’, an powerful rework of ‘All You Fonies (Bound To Lose)’. Check out the new version of the song below.

The original version of the song was released on the bands recent eleventh studio album ‘This Machine Still Kills Fascists’; a full record of songs that bring Woody Guthrie’s words to life. Not a tribute album or a collection of covers, the album is a collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie – artists separated by time and space, but connected by a common philosophy – to create something entirely new.

The new live version of ‘All You Tories’ was performed last month at both the Cardiff and Wembley Arena dates of the tour, in solidarity with the RMT and NHS healthcare workers who are rightly striking for better pay and working conditions.

“In support of all our Union friends in the UK fighting the good fight against the elitist Tory political party we made this music video in association with the RMT (The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers)” Dropkick frontman Ken Casey explained. “On our recent UK shows we changed the words to the song ‘All You Fonies (Bound To Lose)’ to ‘All You Tories,’ in support of the striking railroad and transit workers, nurses, fire fighters, teachers, ambulance staff and health workers. Best of luck in your struggle friends.”
