Across their career Boston\u2019s favourite sons have been pouring their blood, sweat and tears into their folk tinged hardcore for the soul reason of getting your feet moving. Now with their follow up to 2013\u2019s <i>\u2018Signed And Sealed In Blood\u2019<\/i>, the band are getting sentimental with 11 slices of gruff storytelling. <\/p>\n<p>No matter your stance on the <b>Murphys<\/b>, you cannot deny their commitment to their cause. Every tinkle of the penny whistle, every croon of the bagpipe, every strum of the banjo is delivered with conviction and sincerity. The band live the songs that they produce and make it known how much they mean to them. Though <i>\u201911 Short Stories Of Pain And Glory\u2019<\/i> may not be as direct as some of their previous work it doesn\u2019t make it any less engrossing and warming at moments.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>The Against Me!-esque <i>\u2018Sandlot<\/i>\u2019, the pub sing along vibes of <i>\u2018First Class Loser\u2019<\/i> and beautifully poignant <i>\u20184 15 13\u2019<\/i> paint a picture of a band still with a fire in their belly and a story in their heart. Hell, even the totally unnecessary cover of <i>\u2018You\u2019ll Never Walk Alone\u2019<\/i> will have your tear ducts quivering. <\/p>\n<p>It won\u2019t be for everyone, but if you\u2019re already under the spell of the <b>Murphys<\/b>, you\u2019ll find something to dance to here. Still as viciously passionate as when they started and showing no signs of slowing anytime soon, <i>\u201911 Short Stories Of Pain And Glory\u2019<\/i> is another chapter in the long and illustrious journey of one of punk\u2019s most family orientated bands. So grab your mates, have a beer, stick this record on and sing long into the night.
