Boston’s Celtic punk heroes Dropkick Murphys keep the fire burning with the Extended Version of For the People, released a few months after the original album and loaded with five brand-new bonus tracks. It’s not just an add-on — it’s a full expansion that feels like the encore the record deserved.
The extended edition dives deeper into the band’s signature blend of working-class anthems, defiance, and community spirit. The new songs carry that unmistakable Murphys punch: driving pipes, gang vocals, and fist-in-the-air choruses that sound built for live crowds. There’s more heart, more grit, and even more of the storytelling that made the original release stand tall.
While For the People already stood as a tribute to solidarity and struggle, this expanded version feels like a gift to longtime fans — a thank-you note from a band that’s always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with its audience.
For those who thought they’d heard it all, the Extended Version reminds us that Dropkick Murphys always have one more anthem left in them — and they’ll shout it loud enough for everyone to hear.
