The Best Irish Punk You Will Ever Hear

Nothing's better on St. Patty's Day than beer, friends, and awesome drinking songs, and no better place to celebrate than Boston itself. When you're from Boston like I am, there's no better songs to celebrate the holiday than those by The Dropkick Murphys! The Dropkick Murphys formed as an American Celtic Punk band in 1996 in Quincy, Massachusetts. They first began touring locally and at St. Patrick's Day festivals. They became popular from their songs, "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" in 2005 and "Tessie" in 2005. These songs represent the spirit of the Irish and Bostonians alike, serving as anthems for several sport teams and on theatrical soundtracks.

"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" has been used in countless commercials from Disney's Brave to Sam Adams' lagers. This song is the definition of Irish pride and is the crowning jewel of drinking songs. I love to listen to this when I workout of go for runs because it really pumps you up and makes you feel invincible. It's awesome, basically. Listen for yourself:

Dropkick's other hit, "Tessie", is actually a cover of a song of the same name by the Royal Rooters. The Rooters' song was originally the anthem of Fenway Park that helped the Red Sox (formerly known as the Boston Americans) win the World Series in 1903. Dropkick wanted to bring back the Rooters' spirit to the Red Sox in early 2004, which happened to be the year they won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. The song became the Red Sox's song and was put in the movie, Fever Pitch, with Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. You can't not listen to this song and feel happy.

I hope you love these songs as much as I do. Whether it's St. Patty's, or you are just looking for a great time, listen to the Dropkick Murphys! Have a great St. Patty's and be safe!
