Dropkick Murphys Recording Plans

The Dropkick Murphys
will enter the studio in January to begin recording their fourth studio album,
recently announced as "Blackout." The album has a tentative release
date of June 10th 2003. Also, the band is putting their DVD release on hold
until 2004 so they can collect more footage than just last year's St.
Patrick's Day Show
. The DVD will include interviews and home videos from the
band's early years to the present, including the events surrounding the upcoming
album.
