The performance is interspersed with clips of the band debuting the song before European festival crowds this earlier this summer.Ĭasey continues to explain the concept behind This Machine Still Kills Fascists, saying: “The project has been a long time in the making. The video for 'Two 6's Upside Down', directed by Dave Stauble, shows the punk outfit performing the song while gathered around the Woody Guthrie statue in Woody's hometown Okemah, Oklahoma. We just wanted to show right out of the gate that even though this album is acoustic, it's still going to have some fire.” Dropkick Murphys’ founder Ken Casey explains: "'Two 6's Upside Down' is acoustic, but it's still tough. 'Two 6’s Upside Down' is a "forlorn gambler's lament, awash in love and loss, murder and punishment," according to a press release. However, Dropkick Murphys have ditched their electric guitars, and claim "not a single amplifier was used to animate Woody’s words in these songs." This album will be unlike any released by the band before, claiming to bring " Woody Guthrie's words to life."Īccording the album's description, the collection of 10 songs will bring Guthrie's lyrics – many of which date back to the '40s and '50s – into the present day.
The album is set to release on September 30 via the band’s labels Dummy Luck Music /. The band announced they would release This Machine Still Kills Fascists in late June. The track is accompanied by a music video releasing at 3pm today, July 6, which you can view below. Dropkick Murphys have released the first single titled 'Two 6’s Upside Down' from their forthcoming album This Machine Still Kills Fascists.
