"Music America: The Songs that Shaped Us
Jun 4, 2026 at 7:00PM
The OceanFirst Bank CenterAbout This Event
After more than a dozen studio albums, half-a-billion streams, millions of records sold, and thousands of packed shows around the globe, Dropkick Murphys are more relevant than ever nearly 30 years into their career. Dropkick Murphys’ new album For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against injustices happening in America, with a strength and power that harkens back to the band's earliest punk rock roots. For The People is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is—and who they’ve always been. 'Who’ll Stand With Us?,' the album’s first single, is a call for unity, a return to sanity, and a look at what – and who – is really dividing us. The song aims to frame class warfare for what it is and empowers listeners to take action. Whether it’s politics, family, friends or simply 'life,' Dropkick Murphys continue to write music that regular people can identify with. Dropkick Murphys' celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts – Turn Up That Dial (Expanded Version) (2021), 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory (2017), Signed and Sealed in Blood (2013), Going Out In Style (2011) – along with 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior's Code featuring the near double platinum classic 'I’m Shipping Up To Boston.' A pair of acoustic albums, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (2022) and Okemah Rising (2023) breathed musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie." -

Chariots Overdrive – The End of Antiquity Review By Andy-War-HallManilla Road, Motörhead, and Megaton Sword walk into a bar—Lemmy’s pick, if that helps you picture the place. Someone yells, “cops outside!” The word “cops” clears the room faster than napalm ever could. Stampede. The bands are swept up in the deluge of bodies, bewildered and sweaty. Amidst the chaos, several shuffle into a nearby van. Driving off, they realize that 1) these aren’t their bandmates, 2) this is Di’Anno-era Iron Maiden’s van with their keys and all their equipment left inside, and 3) they picked up Dropkick Murphys somewhere along the way. If this hypothetical group decided to run with it, they would sound like Chariots Overdrive. Hailing from Beijing, China, and currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, these adherents of the NWoBHM sound old as dirt on their debut, The End of Antiquity, injecting fantastical lyricism inspired by Chinese history and folklore into their mix. But can this van/chariot go the distance, or has this ride seen its last mile?
The End of Antiquity is driven by allegiance to metal in the purest form, and Chariots Overdrive wield it with punk-like tenacity. Speed and belligerence rule The End of Antiquity, embodied in the full-band gang vocals of “Marching Maniacs” and the Dead Kennedys-like discordance of “Parasite.” The belts and snarls singer G.H.Z uses on “A Taikonautic Alchemist” and “Chariots Overdrive”1 would fit as well with Rancid as they do here, and their guitars and bass evoke the aforementioned early Maiden years in the punkish bite (“The End of Antiquity”). Bassist Z.Z.Y lays down aggressively clicky, highly melodic lines across The End of Antiquity, giving Chariots Overdrive a burly-yet-catchy streak akin to Steve Harris’ playing and bolstering G.H.Z and Y.Z’s gnarly dual guitars and W.R.C’s punchy drums into a full-bodied declaration of victory. Chariots Overdrive feel rooted in the simple joy of throwing ragers with the boys, and The End of Antiquity is, if nothing else, a rager.
Chariots Overdrive don’t overcomplicate anything, which is a boon and bane to The End of Antiquity. Most songs play around simple melodies over two to four chords. Guitar solos aren’t flashy on The End of Antiquity, but they’re incisive. When the outcome is exhilarating like “Chariots Overdrive” or Judas Priest-levels of catchy like “Marching Maniacs,” it’s hard to argue. But it also puts the onus of The End of Antiquity’s success on Chariot Overdrive’s performances, which can falter. G.H.Z isn’t a powerhouse vocalist and sounds downright rough at times, especially where Chariot Overdrive attempt harmonization, such as the chorus of “A Taikonautic Alchemist.” It also means that, despite the album’s lean runtime, The End of Antiquity sounds somewhat exhausted by the time “Nomadic Warfare” and the title track appear, as their hooks are comparatively weaker to the rest of the record. I’m all for simplifying something for the sake of effectiveness, but what’s left has to be as tight as you can make it. In this regard, Chariots Overdrive can improve.
What Chariots Overdrive need is a more refined identity. Like early Iron Maiden, Chariots Overdrive seem to strive towards a dirty-yet-sophisticated sound and theming, evidenced by the fingerstyle guitar and serene bass-and-piano interludes of “Where Dust Reigns” and “Sunken Throb,”2 but these instrumentals’ moods aren’t matched or mirrored by the rest of the album and feel tacked-on as a result. The standout, 12-minute song “A Bizarre Pilgrimage to the Cubik Mansion” hints at what Chariots Overdrive can do, as the band navigates artfully between Motörhead’s hyped-up rock n’ roll and Black Sabbathian gloomy doom.3 But the track buckles a bit under its weight by the end and feels done a few minutes before it’s over. Chariots Overdrive are engaging by grit and energy, but without a solid grasp on what exactly they are doing, The End of Antiquity can only be a fun-but-flawed work when taken as a whole.
The End of Antiquity has some flaws, but I still like where the Chariots Overdrive van is going. If you like any of the bands mentioned above it’s a safe bet you’ll get something out of this. There’s obvious chemistry between the band, and their debut has plenty of good moments throughout that are both fun in the present and hint towards a stronger future. I don’t want Chariots Overdrive to give up on what they’re doing, but if they can merge their punk hooliganism with the finesse they aspire towards in the next album, it’ll be a hit. There’s a lot of highway ahead, but this chariot’s got tread to spare yet.

"Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (2021’s Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior’s Code featuring the near double platinum classic 'I’m Shipping Up To Boston.' Whether you caught a legendary gig at The Rathskeller (The Rat) under Kenmore Square, found the band by taking the T to Newbury Comics to cop Do Or Die in ’98, discovered them in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Awardwinning The Departed, or saw ‘em throw down at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become a part of their extended family. Dropkick Murphys’ music has generated half-a-billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents. In 2020, the band was one of the first to embrace streaming performances, starting with their Streaming Up From Boston St. Patrick’s Day virtual performance. It was followed by last year’s landmark Streaming Outta Fenway livestream, which drew more than 5.9 million viewers and held the #3 spot on Pollstar’s 'Top 2020 Livestreams' chart. Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down, was #1 on Pollstar’s Livestream chart for the week ending March 22, 2021, logging over 1 million views. Dropkick Murphys return September 30 with their first-ever all-acoustic album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS]), followed by their first-ever seated theater tour kicking off in late October. This Machine Still Kills Fascists breathes musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie, curated for the band by Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie."

Traveling #PunkRock outdoor live #music #festival series cancelled after organizer's support of #DJT called into question, and boycotts initiated before #PunkInThePark dates in Pittsburgh PA; Orlando FL; and Vallejo, CA were pulled.
The two original remaining #DeadKennedys members who signed on to play said they were previously unaware of the promoter's support of the current President, but would perform anyway to honor their contract and not rip off ticket buyers.
Long estranged original DK vocalist Jello Biafra, who is no longer in the band stated "They’re taking the money $$$, and THEN pulling out?" he wrote in a statement to #Stereogum.
Other bands that were participating this year despite previous adverse #publicity included The Adicts & The Exploited from UK, #Fear, #LeftoverCrack, #AgnosticFront, The Queers, #Nekromantix, Manic Hispanic, Naked Aggression, Screeching Weasel and #Sissyfit.
#Punk In The Park had sucessfully managed many alt rock #concert events for several years before main organizer Cameron Collins' #Drumpf campaign donations became too large of a liability for acts that have in past participated in Brew Ha Ha Productions events. Last year #DropkickMurphys & #Dillinger4 jumped off the bill and made no secret their dissatisfaction with the promoter's #TrumpRegime support.
Previous #bands on fest stages run by the this promotor in past have included #RichKidsOnLSD #NOFX #StreetlightManifesto and #Pennywise at events like #PunkInDrublic, Summer Roots, Silverado Showdown, #CampAnarchy etc ...
