Boston-based Dropkick Murphys have revealed the new music video for their song 'Rose Tattoo.' The video features contributions by the band’s most devoted fans, whom the band asked to get tattoos of the new album art, and then send in videos and photos of their new ink. 'Rose Tattoo' features Winston Marsalis from Mumford & Sons playing banjo.
'Rose Tattoo' is one of the songs off the band’s forthcoming album, 'SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD', to be released January 7th via Born and Bred Records via Cooperative Music. Presale for the album will begin on November 23rd. The album is their second with producer Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show), which was recorded at Boston’s Q Division studios and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes). “We had such a great time writing our last album, 'Going Out In Style', we were excited to get back into the studio right away,” says bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey. “Where Going Out in Style was a concept album—kind of intricate and difficult—this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be.”
Since they first hit the scene in 1996, the Boston seven-piece have racked up record sales in excess of 4 million worldwide and have collaborated with numerous global superstars including Bruce Springsteen (who featured on ‘Going Out In Style’).
Dropkick Murphys - Al Barr (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, accordion, whistle, vocals), Ken Casey (lead vocals, bass guitar), Jeff DaRosa (banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, vocals), James Lynch (guitar, vocals), and Scruffy Wallace (bagpipes, tin whistles) - are on tour early next year.
