Rancid and Dropkick Murphys will embark on the Boston to Berkeley II tour this May, joined on most of the dates by Gerry Cinnamon and Jesse Ahern.

The band has developed a fiercely devoted following through their energetic live shows, sing-a-long choruses, and unbreakable spirits. The Dropkicks made their mainstream introduction through the song "Shipping Out To Boston" which featured heavily … Read more
