This is one of those that was a toss-up as to where to file it here on The Rock Father… not really “music for kids,” but not just “for grownups” either. Since it’s more of a track for rockin’ families in general, I’m just putting the new video from the DROPKICK MURPHYS here in my blog. In fact, I think that going forward, any holiday music that’s not specifically kid-centric will go in my blog instead of “news.” You could say it’s some “Housekeeping” in a way. In terms of the holidays, “The Season’s Upon Us,” and that just so happens to be the name of the DROPKICK MURPHYS’ new single and video. Check it out!

“The Season’s Upon Us” is available now on iTunes as a perfect addition to your 2012 Holiday Music Playlist!
“The Season’s Upon Us” will be a bonus track available on the iTunes deluxe edition (pre-order here) of the band’s new studio album SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD, to be released January 8th via Born and Bred Records. The album is their second with producer Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show), which was recorded at Boston’s Q Division studios and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes). “We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out In Style, we were excited to get back into the studio right away,” says bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey. “Where Going Out in Style was a concept album-kind of intricate and difficult-this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be.”
Dropkick Murphys are: Al Barr (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, accordion, whistle, vocals), Ken Casey (lead vocals, bass guitar), Jeff DaRosa (banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, vocals), James Lynch (guitar, vocals), and Scruffy Wallace (bagpipes, tin whistles).
