Amazon.co.uk Review
Though possessing a heavy-duty indie history that includes such luminaries as the Pixies, the Lemonheads and Throwing Muses, Boston is also famed for its booze-sodden, craic-driven Irish Exile rock. And Dropkick Murphys--clearly influenced by The Pogues at their most uproarious--are the cream of the present crop. Yet this is not simple jigging traditionalism. Despite employing bagpipes, mandolins and tin whistles to add Celtic flavour to their sound, these guys are full-blown punks, harking back to the immediate post-Pistols era of the Angelic Upstarts. The riffs here are fast, heavy and purposefully uncomplicated, often recalling such bludgeoning classics as "God Save The Queen". The vocals are an impassioned gabble, usually building to terrace chants, while the lyrics are consumed by the plight of the working class in modern-day America and the need to keep a tight grip on a sense of Irish history. The Pogues' Shane MacGowan contributes a garbled but charismatic rap to the racy "Good Rats", and if you are after something more than a beer-soaked mosh-party, the Murphys are also capable of heartfelt acoustic numbers, as evinced by the melancholic and impressively melodic "The Torch". Sing Loud, Sing Proud is the Oi polloi at their indomitable best. Be warned. --Dominic Wills

I have only recently discovered this band, after hearing Shipping up to Boston on the Departed film soundtrack. I am now hooked! They are brilliant, the music just grows on you. I especially like The Torch off this album but the rest are good too. Buy it if you are looking for something a bit different.

This has to be one of the most diverse Punk albums I own. The opening Track "For Boston" gets the energy flowing with its chants and fast paced beat, this leads perfectly into my personal favourite track "The Legend of Finn MacCumHail" This is the ultimate punk tune based on a traditional Celtic legend, it has it all - Fast beats, shouty choruses and loud guitars. "The Rocky Road to Dublin" will have you jigging in the isles and "The Wild Rover" is a classic pub tune to drink your Black stuff to.

What struck me most about this album though was that while keep the same punk feel as previous albums like "Do or Die" and "The Gang's All here" it also has some other styles like the traditional Irish tunes and some heart-stirring acoustic tracks. Its this that will keep you going back to this album when most other punk bands have gone into obscurity.

A definite must have album.

Dropkick murphys aaaa what can i say but i love em, their previous album "the gangs all here" was somewhat of a dissapointment to me, not due to lack of talent and quality by any means, it just strayed away from the irish folk values which bless the band and give them there individuality and stand out from other punk bands, Sing loud Sing proud is one of the best albums i have on my rack and no my rack is not a single cd rack infact it has a capacity of 60 cds. So bring oyut the leprecauns and beat them sensless cos this my friend is the pot of gold that they keep so well hidden simply magnificent, they sing bout drinking, love, and war joost plain irish stuff. Best song on album gotta be ummmmm the rocky road to dublin, even the pogues shane mcgowan makes an appearence on the song good rats, a siong about rats would you believe it, deffinately a different route to all that EMO punk about love, love love love, boring if you ask me, these songs are more like a stroy than a love letter.

Basically buy the damn cd and you will be happy for the rest of your life(was i a salesman in a past life? must of been, i can just see me sellin potatoes in a big irish field, while the sweet sounds of the bag pipes and whistles blare from the hills and little men skip down the grass aaaaaa
