New Album Turn Up That Dial Out April 30 Via Born & Bred Records

 

Dropkick Murphys have released a new single, Queen Of Suffolk County, from their forthcoming album Turn Up That Dial, out April 30 via band-owned Born & Bred Records.

The track opens with a newscaster introducing the “Queen Of Suffolk County” as co-lead vocalist Ken Casey recounts the exploits of a knife-toting local femme fatale, advising, “You best stay out of her way. She don’t joke, and she don’t play.” Look for a video for the spirited new track later this month.

“Queen Of Suffolk County” follows the album’s tongue-in-cheek single “Middle Finger”, which was recently released, accompanied by a Kes Glozier-directed video shot in London just before the band’s last show prior to the pandemic.
