DROPKICK MURPHYS "DO OR DIE" - Rebirth Of An Oi! Classic!

[@coconutthecockatiel478]

I hope we get a true punk renaissance in the next few years. I've grown up in the scene, and now I'm at the age where my dad and his friends saw the wave of 90s punk. I'm never going to be able to experience that for myself, but I hope I see something like it while I'm young like they were

[@thepunkrockreview]

Well, the 90s was an anomaly and will likely never happen again (and I don't want it to, if I'm honest). But there's a punk rock renaissance happening right now, so soak it in my dude!

[@mikeyramone33]

@@thepunkrockreview The 90s were a desert. Nothing happened.

[@thepunkrockreview]

@mikeyramone33 well, that's not true. But ok.

[@OG-Anetka]

I keep wishing for the same thing for my teenaged daughter. Being an 80s/90s kid... we were truly blessed when it came to PunkRock.

[@kevinhogan9687]

"Do or Die" is a true classic.

[@thepunkrockreview]

Absolutely love that record!

[@derekperry261]

Thanks!

[@thepunkrockreview]

Ayyyye! Thank you Derek!!!

[@derekperry261]

You're welcome brother!!!! I'll be on the next live stream and will probably request my friends band a few more times but will have the funds for it 🤣

Being from Massachusetts Dropkick Murphys is a important part of our scene. They’re also a big part of my life. But I also love Flogging Molly

[@thepunkrockreview]

I can't wait to see this album played in it's entirety!

[@davidsonner6488]

This album changed my life......nothing spoke to me like this album did.....im a 51yr old trad skin and ill never forget hearing barroom heros on the give em the boot comp as well and that was it i was sold....i took this album with me to Iraq and Afghanistan and it helped.....it helped a lot

[@thepunkrockreview]

Amazing, I love hearing stuff like this!

[@coconutthecockatiel478]

Cool to see the Syndrome 81 shirt! I've been listening to a lot of French punk lately, it's super cool

[@thepunkrockreview]

Yeah I've made like 3 videos about the French stuff and flew out to Pittsburgh to see S81 play. It was amazing

[@kylemcelligott9281]

Great album

[@thepunkrockreview]

Absolutely! I still listen to it regularly!

[@Sayl3bot83]

Next weekend we’ll get to hear do or die in it’s entirety. Houston is going to put on ! Winter weekender!

[@thepunkrockreview]

It's gonna be so dope! Stop by my table and say hi! I'll be set up slangin' records, cds, and tapes!

[@Sayl3bot83]

@@thepunkrockreviewabsolutely. Soft kill is going to slap as well!!!! Looking forward to meeting you personally!

[@KingSizzle21]

I was born in ‘82, so I’m totally about your age and we probably got into punk in similar times. This DKM album is probably one of the most important albums of my life too. Back when this album released, I saw them play with Sacramento’s legendary Oi Band Pressure Point, who were, I think track one on the same Give ‘Em the Boot where everyone heard Barroom Hero for the first time. That was my first ever Oi show: DKM with Mike and Pressure Point. You should do a video on Pressure Point or Whiskey Rebels. Both bands are awesome West Coast Oi.

[@thepunkrockreview]

Track 1 on that comp is Rancid "The Brothels", Pressure Point was at the back end of the track list

[@lewisb85]

Mike mccolgan interviews was part of my way in for sure, for me the first "oi" band I got into was either Street dogs or when lars brought out "Viking".

[@thepunkrockreview]

Man, I hope i can get him on the show... that would be awesome to hear from him how and why the band got started.

[@lewisb85]

@@thepunkrockreview He would be awesome, such a great story, started dropkicks after leaving the army, left the band to be a fire fighter, but then got the itch to do music again so started street dogs as a hobby band, but the hobby band blew up, isn't Johnny rioux also in Houston?

[@hopelessaquarian]

Damn, I wish I could afford to get on a plane and go to that weekender... Love your channel and what you're doing with the label, btw! Hope ya keep going, man. Cheers from Germany

[@thepunkrockreview]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words, I appreciate it 👊😎🏴‍☠️

[@Sayl3bot83]

New Braunfels will be present!!!!

[@thepunkrockreview]

Hell yes! Come by the table and say hi!

[@138DeadBoy]

I love this album so fucking much! It was definitely my gateway into Oi! How I got into Skinhead and Streetpunk in general. Been a Skin since '08 and haven't looked back.

[@thepunkrockreview]

Lessgooooo!!! That's awesome to hear, bro. Yeah, this album opened up so many doors for me. This show next Saturday is going to be BONKERS!

[@138DeadBoy]

@thepunkrockreview their shows always sell out so fast when they play Cleveland lol and Flogging Molly too. I always miss em lol

[@ChrisBrown-ko4lu]

Oi is the best music in the world. 🇬🇧 check out the band Combat 84 a true sound of what was happing in the UK at the time.

[@loneleelife]

Yeah, if you want to hear right wing RAC bs…

[@ChrisBrown-ko4lu]

@ WTF! Why is it every early Skin/ Oi band is B&H or RAC? Thats why members of Combat 84 played for the UK Subs and The Exploited and Detford John has played and knows every one! They were of a time and stood up for what was happening at the time here in England, the singer got into Football related stuff etc. Just like it for what it was! Link records in the UK would sell all sorts of Oi related records and the owner was from The Business and he would not release anything untoward! Oi is not this watered down stuff that gets played today! It’s not always about Sparrer!!

[@loneleelife]

@@ChrisBrown-ko4lu The Oppressed is all you need 😏

[@ionechisholme7552]

I love DKM I seen them early on I'm just so sad I couldn't get tickets for Brisbane Australia

[@thepunkrockreview]

Yeah I can only imagine how much of a bummer it would be to have a band like that get out to Australia and then not get to see them...

[@ionechisholme7552]

Can I get this compilation in Australia?

[@thepunkrockreview]

Which one? Give Em The Boot? I'm sure you can, just order one on eBay or Discogs. It would be pretty cheap

[@derekperry261]

Hey man I had covid the last few weeks and was struggling to fill out applications for a new job. I get paid soon and I will send you your money brother! It will be friday or saturday. I truly apologize. My mom died around this time last year and Ive been dealing with that and being sick and looking for a job I could actually tolerate the purpose and the people.

[@thepunkrockreview]

Bro, no problem at all, I just want you back on the streams to hang out. If you need to hit me up, my info is in the description 👊😎🏴‍☠️

[@derekperry261]

I sent you money man. Let me know if you got it ​@@thepunkrockreview

[@travistytoday4031]

Never understood why musicians promote working class when they don’t and haven’t lived that life.

[@thepunkrockreview]

Example?

[@travistytoday4031]

the Buisness, uk subs, cockney rejects, angelic upstarts, the bruisers. I guess some of the uk bands probably came from working class neighborhoods so they align themselves with that lifestyle but they are lifelong musicians. Mike McColgan the singer on the Do or Die album became a firefighter for a hot minute but went back to music. Just my two cents. I appreciate the forum to voice my opinion.

[@travistytoday4031]

@ don’t get me wrong, I like the music and the message, as I got older and more jaded with working every day it’s just a thought that began to form.

[@travistytoday4031]

@ I liked the Dwid Helllion interview btw. Good stuff.

[@dmgd509]

Still spin this one.. shame what happened to this band..

[@138DeadBoy]

They've become the Slipknot of punk

[@thepunkrockreview]

I mean, i like that we got Dropkick and Street Dogs, personally, but this album is SO GOOD!

[@138DeadBoy]

@@thepunkrockreview I don't know why but never ventured too far into street dogs for some reason. And i love that era of Streetpunk too

[@dmgd509]

​@thepunkrockreview I tried to get into street dogs.. multiple times.. always found the lyrics to comical.. "we all need a little punk rawknroll".. ugh 😂😂... the music I dig though

[@138DeadBoy]

@@dmgd509 it's a great song though 😂 but i know what ya mean. Like on The Casualties For the Punx it's like "Punx n Skins" , "punk rock love" "for the Punx" lol
