“Ken Casey carries himself like a man who has no interest in looking for a fight but would have no problem finishing one if the need arose. Glancing at his silvered hair and faded tattoos, you might even assume the stocky musician’s street-fighting days are over now that he’s in his fifties. But you’d be wrong. Right now, Casey’s focused on using everything he’s learned to fight fascism by whatever means possible. As far as he’s concerned, ‘There is no neutral. If you’re neutral, you’re on the wrong side.’ As the kinetic frontman and sole remaining founding member of the Irish American ’Celtic punk’ band Dropkick Murphys, Casey is more likely to be found speaking to crowds of rowdy concertgoers in defense of immigrant rights, in support of Ukraine, and criticizing the Trump regime than bloodying his knuckles, but the man could never be accused of going soft.” (11/11/25)
