From For the People (2025). For the People is the thirteenth studio album by American Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys and was released on July 4, 2025 (streaming), and was released on October 10, 2025 (CD and LP), on Dummy Luck Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Dropkick Murphys' other songs from For the People, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
