The Warrior’s Code by Dropkick Murphys
The Warrior’s Code is an album by Dropkick Murphys, released in 2005. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I'm Shipping Up to Boston”, on 6 lists with a best position of #7.
The Warrior's Code, the Dropkick Murphys' fifth album, came out on Hellcat in June 2005, their last for the label before they launched their own Born & Bred imprint, and it went on to become their best seller. It's dedicated to Lowell's own "Irish" Micky Ward, who appears on the cover and gets the title track to himself. Ken Casey and Al Barr trade bellows up front, and Tim Brennan and Scruffy Wallace make their first appearance on a Murphys album, thickening the Quincy band's Celtic punk stomp.
The monster is "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", re-recorded from an earlier single, which took off once it landed in the Oscar-winning film The Departed and became their only platinum single. "Tessie", their 2004 tribute to the Red Sox fan club the Royal Rooters, rides along as a bonus track.
