Dropkick Murphys ' new single and video , "Ten Times More," from their upcoming album This Machine Still Kills Fascists , is now available.
This Machine Still Kills Fascists will be released digitally and on CD on September 30th via Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS] , with a special vinyl edition on November 11th. This promises to be an album unlike anything Dropkick Murphys has done before: a full album of songs that bring Woody Guthrie . This Machine Still Kills Fascists is a collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie – artists separated by time and space, but connected by a common philosophy – to create something entirely new.
With percussion, harmony, and their own voices, Dropkick Murphys takes on Woody Guthrie's battle cry for the oppressed and working class, evoking a military cadence with the song's call and response. For the song "Ten Times More," the band opted to use the song's original demo. Extra tracks, harmonics, and backing vocals were added in the studio – but the drums, most of the beats, lead vocals, and backing vocals were all done on the spot.
The video for “Ten Times More” features grainy footage of the band stomping their feet and clapping their hands to the rhythm of the song, with special scenes starring some of “America’s greatest labor adversaries, swindlers and fascists of modern times,” according to a press release. Watch it:
