The band is releasing “Smash Shit Up” on a 7″ single, and as a B-side, they’ve also covered “ The Bonny,” a 2019 folk song from the Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Cinnamon. If you have any love in your heart for Dropkick Murphys, this is the sort of thing that will make your day just a little bit brighter. It comes with a Chris Friend-directed video in which the members of the band show absolute joy in demolishing an actual house and pulling Jackass-style stunts on each other. “Smash Shit Up” is a big, simple beer-in-your-eye rager about having a whole lot of destructive energy and feeling the urge to break things. And today, the Murphys return with a new single that really represents just about everything you could want from a new Dropkick Murphys song. There’s a new album from the band coming this fall. But as long as there are drunk dudes who need things to sing really loud while they pretend to punch each other in the head, there will be room for Dropkick Murphys. A video for the track ' Tessie' was also filmed in 2004 when the song was released as its own single.It’s now been three years since Boston punk institution Dropkick Murphys released their last album 11 Short Stories Of Pain And Glory. The band filmed music videos for ' Sunshine Highway', ' The Warrior's Code' and two videos for ' I'm Shipping Up to Boston', the second was used for The Departed. However, it became a hit after being featured in the Oscar-winning movie The Departed and its soundtrack. The band released the song on their own as a single in 2006. The album features one of the band's biggest and most well known singles, ' I'm Shipping Up to Boston', which the band originally released on the ' Fields of Athenry' single, although it was re-recorded it for The Warrior's Code.

It is also their final record with Hellcat Records before moving to their own vanity label, Born & Bred Records.

It features a dedication to Lowell's own 'Irish' Micky Ward who is featured on the album's cover and is the subject of the album's title track. Released in June 2005, it is also their bestselling. The Warrior's Code is the fifth studio album by the Irish-American Celtic punk band, the Dropkick Murphys.
