Boston Accents 01.07.13: Dropkick Murphys week on WFNX + Mission of Burma, Mister Vertigo, Parks, Ex-Magicians, Caspian

Here's today's BOSTON ACCENTS playlist, setting the tone for the full-record stream of the DROPKICK MURPHYS new album, Signed and Sealed In Blood. Listen in tomorrow on WFNX as we are joined in the studio by Westland!  

DROPICK MURPHYS “Tessie” -- It's Dropkicks Week here at WFNX, and we gave away a pair of passes to tomorrow's CD release party at McGreevys by asking this question, appropriate with yesterday's end to the NHL lockout: What's the name of the fight song the Dropkick Murphys wrote for the Boston Bruins roughly a decade ago? Answer: "Time To Go"

MISSION OF BURMA “Academy Fight Song” -- Excited to present Burma's January 19 show at the Sinclair in Cambridge. Get tickets here.
