Following a successful European tour that concluded with a massive show at the Adidas Arena in Paris, these two Boston-based bands are serving their fans another banger. Get your turntables ready—„New England Forever“ is coming!

Fans of authentic street punk and hardcore have every reason to celebrate. Dropkick Murphys and their pals from Haywire have announced a joint 12″ vinyl release. This split is a celebration of their time on the road together and their shared, deep-seated Boston roots.

The album, titled „New England Forever,“ features a total of 8 tracks—4 from each band—with a concept built on mutual respect. The tracklist includes reciprocal covers: Haywire took on the DKM anthem „The Boys Are Back,“ while Dropkick Murphys recorded their own version of Haywire’s „Always By My Side.“

The collaboration goes even deeper with guest appearances: Austin from Haywire features on the track „CITIZEN I.C.E.,“ and DKM’s Ken Casey appears on the title track „NEW ENGLAND FOREVER.“

Where can you grab this rarity?

Take note! For collectors, this is a highly limited item. The vinyl will be available EXCLUSIVELY at shows during the upcoming U.S. „St. Patrick’s Day Tour,“ which runs from February 9 to March 17, 2026.

The record won’t hit regular stores or online platforms until after the tour wraps up, on a date that is still TBA. If you’re not making the trip across the Atlantic, you’ll have to hope a few copies surface on the official webstore later or start hitting up your contacts in the States now!
