Description
"The hardcore punk/Celtic folk outfit Dropkick Murphys formed in South Boston in 1995. Vocalist Mike McColgan, guitarist Rick Barton, and bassist Ken Casey comprised the original nucleus of the group, with a series of drummers passing through the lineup before the addition of Matt Kelly in 1997. After a series of EPs including "Fire and Brimstone," "Tattoos and Scally Caps," and "Boys on the Docks," the Dropkick Murphys signed to Hellcat Records to issue their 1998 full-length "Do or Die," produced by Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen; McColgan exited the group soon after (he later went on to form the like-minded Street Dogs) and was replaced by vocalist Al Barr for the follow-up, 1999’s "The Gang’s All Here."-bostonherald.com
