'We will SMASH you': Dropkick Murphys feud with neo-Nazis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BOSTON (AP) — The Dropkick Murphys are hitting back against a neo-Nazi group that used one of the rock band's songs in a video posted on social media.

The rowdy rockers from Boston condemned the use of the song “The Boys are Back” in a tweet, while the band's attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to the group as well as to the platform that shared the video.

After calling them “losers,” the band wrote “Stop using our song for your little dress up party video. We will SMASH you,” in response to a tweet from a man who confronted the group at South Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade last weekend.

About a dozen masked members of the group, known as NSC 131 or the Nationalist Social Club, attended Sunday's parade as spectators and held up a banner that said “Keep Boston Irish.” Their appearance was denounced by the parade's organizers and Mayor Michelle Wu.

2. I *heart* the Dropkick Murphys!

They also told Scott Walker to stop using their music because "we literally hate you."

Fuck Nazis!

9. That was awesome! Somehow I missed that one!

Thanks for posting!!!

I've only seen Dropkick Murphys once: It was them, Rancid and the Selector. I went primarily to see the Selector, one of my favorite ska bands, but I really enjoyed the entire show. Really fun time!

13. They're definitely a great time live!

I always make a point to see the Murphys when they're in town!

10. Ha! As I just replied to you upthread, I saw Rancid and Dropkicks right after

TFG was elected.

I brought a homemade sign that was double-sided that said "Ska Punk against Trump" and "I SELECT Love" on the other.

I got Pauline (of the Selector) to autograph it after the show.

It's now a treasured possession of mine!!

14. Nice!

I'm glad they brought back the Boston II Berkeley tour that was great!
