They may not be from Jersey, but the Dropkick Murphys have rallied Bruce Springsteen to help with lead vocals on the band’s song “Peg O’ My Heart” when it’s recorded for their new album Going Out in Style slated to be released on March 1^st of this year. Personally, we’re psyched about the blending of talent and a potential new emergence of sound.Charlie Nathanson of Bloginity reported on January 24^th that he is “fully expecting this to be a radio hit;” so for those of you who have not yet heard of the Dropkick Murphys..it seems you soon will.Nathanson went on to write that “Springsteen has stated before that he is a fan of the Murphys, explaining that his turned him on to several punk rock bands that he has since endorsed” and that “Springsteen shared the stage with the Irish rockers at a hometown show in Boston a few years back, so this will not be the first time the two forces will be collaborating.”If you’re interested in checking out the sound of this Irish punk rock group that hails from Massachusetts before they climb to “radio fame” with the release if their Springsteen-assisted song, here are this year’s tour dates:
