Ken Casey (Dropkick Murphys)

Dropkick Murphys' 11th studio album is called This Machine Still Kills Fascists.

The record features a collection of Woody Guthrie’s unpublished lyrics set to music.

The seeds of the project were sown some years ago when the band befriended Woody’s daughter, Nora. Her son was a fan of the Dropkick Murphys and saw in the band a group of kindred spirits who embodied Woody’s everyman working class ethic.

We talk about that whole journey in this interview, as well as going deep into Ken’s life and career with the Dropkick Murphys, from fighting Nazis at punk shows to the DIY spirit that’s driven them from the day they formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1996.
