Album Notes & Community Reviews
The ninth studio album from the Boston Celtic punk institution was uniquely recorded in El Paso, Texas, marking the first time the band tracked an album outside their home state. The project maintains their signature, high-energy fusion of anthemic street punk with traditional Irish instrumentation like bagpipes and tin whistles. The lyrical themes heavily focus on the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic on their local working-class communities.
