Dropkick Murphys presents “L-EE-B-O-Y” from their new album Turn Up That Dail
Turn Up That Dial is the tenth studio album by American band Dropkick Murphys and was released on April 30, 2021, on the band’s Born & Bred Records label.
Dropkick Murphys has a funny story about L-EE-B-O-Y, the song they wrote about there piper Lee… They say “First off, we kept the title and lyrics a secret from Lee. He recorded his parts close to home in Florida because of Covid, and we had a fake name for the song when we sent the files”.
Co-lead vocalist Ken Casey explained the album by saying, “On this record, the overall theme is the importance of music, and the bands that made us who we are. We just hope the album takes people’s minds off their troubles. We’re so fortunate and grateful to be in the position to share a little happiness in our own way. Our gratitude levels are off the chart. If there’s a message to this album, it’s, ‘Put your fist up and play it loud.’ We’ve all done plenty of lamenting, so the main goal was to keep this fun. The darker the times got, the harder we fought to uplift with this music.”
