NEW INTERVIEW | KEN CASEY (DROPKICK MURPHYS)

Ahead of the band's explosive Dublin show yesterday in Fairview Park, we caught up with Ken Casey for an in-depth chat covering everything from the upcoming Shane MacGowan (Pogues) tribute album to the next chapter of Dropkick Murphys.

Ken opens up about recording 'The Body of an American', Shane's enduring influence, the challenges facing working-class America today, and reveals that new Dropkick Murphys music is already in the works, inspired by the current political and social climate.
