Dropkick Murphys
Boston’s Dropkick Murphys have raised over $300,000 for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Through the band’s charitable foundation, the Claddagh Fund, 100% of the proceeds directly benefit those affected by the bombings and their families.
The Dropkicks raised the money by selling a specially designed t-shirt and hosting a benefit concert. They continue to generate funds with a Charity EP of three of their songs including “Rose Tattoo” featuring Bruce Springsteen.
Transplants
Transplants, the punk rock supergroup with core members Tim Armstrong (Rancid), Travis Barker (Blink-182) and Skinhead Rob Aston, have recently released their 3rd album In a Warzone.
They have recorded and toured together on and off since 1999 but clearly their other projects have kept them busy.
“Something’s Different” is the current single.
Neko Case
The chanteuse, Neko Case, known both for her solo projects and her work with The New Pornographers, has teamed up with guitarist M. Ward (a la She & Him) for her unorthodox song called “Man”.
“Man” will be included on her forthcoming album, the wonderfully titled The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You.
