Dropkick Murphys announce details of the release of their eighth album and UK/Ireland tour.
The new album will be called Signed and Sealed in Blood will be released 7th January 2013 with the tour to follow just after, playing smaller and more intimate venues that we are used to seeing the Boston rockers.
Bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey spoke about the new release "We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out In Style and we were excited to get back into the studio right away. Where Going Out in Style was a concept album - kind of intricate and difficult - this one is catchy, fun, and is gonna damage a lot of speakers."
Signed and Sealed in Blood also features the banjo playing of Winston Marshall from Mumford & Sons on Prisoner's Song. A collaboration that came about after Dropkick Murphys played Mumford's 'Gentlemen of the Road' festival in Maine this year.
