DROPKICK MURPHYS Unveils New Single, ‘Citizen I.C.E.’; New Tour To Launch Feb. 9

Dropkick Murphys has joined the fight against Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions nationwide.
The band’s part in that fight came Wednesday in the form of its latest single, ‘Citizen I.C.E.’ Clocking in at less than 90 seconds (1 minute, 23 seconds to be exact), it actually feels longer thanks to the way in which it was composed. Additionally, the approach taken to the song takes audiences back to the early days of the band, with more of a pure punk sound a la Rancid, The Casualties, etc.
‘Citizen I.C.E.’ is actually a re-imagined version of DKM’s 2005 song, ‘Citizen CIA.’
The band discussed the song in a prepared statement.
“As Americans are being executed in the street, we feel it is our duty to raise consciousness, and be one of the voices speaking against this nightmare. CITIZEN I.C.E. is FOR THE PEOPLE. Stand strong against tyranny. Use it however you want.
In Solidarity, with Love, Dropkick Murphys”
‘Citizen I.C.E.’ is featured in the band’s upcoming split album with Haywire, New England Forever. The song also features the members of Haywire.
In other news, Dropkick Murphys has a new tour scheduled to kick off Feb. 9. The tour is scheduled to run through March 17 and fans can pick up copies of the new 12: split LP at each of the tour’s stops. The Aggrolites and Haywire will serve as support.
