DROPKICK MURPHYS RELEASE ‘CITIZEN ICE’ SINGLE
Release New Song “Citizen I.C.E.” to Speak Out Against the Tragic Killings in Minnesota
Dropkick Murphys have just released their new song “Citizen I.C.E.” (featuring Haywire) via all digital platforms, prior to the digital and physical release of their 12” vinyl split LP with Haywire titled New England Forever.
“Citizen I.C.E.” is a reimagined version of Dropkick Murphys’ 2005 song “Citizen C.I.A.,” recorded in late 2025. DKM recently previewed the song on social media, with a video drawing attention to the tragic killings in Minneapolis.
The band posted this message on their social accounts about the song:
“As Americans are being executed in the street, we feel it is our duty to raise consciousness, and be one of the voices speaking against this nightmare. CITIZEN I.C.E. is FOR THE PEOPLE. Stand strong against tyranny. Use it however you want.
– In Solidarity, with Love, Dropkick Murphys”
In “Citizen I.C.E.,” Dropkick Murphys sing:
Power-hungry scumbags
Apply today
Come celebrate dictatorships and bolster the regime
While abusing helpless immigrants, a bully’s wet dream
You’ve joined the traitors’ ranks to play the hand of God
In a dirtbag grifter’s kidnapping squad
Citizen I.C.E.
As previously announced, the vinyl version of New England Forever, which includes “Citizen I.C.E.,” will be available exclusively at shows during Dropkick Murphys’ February 9 – March 17 For The People…In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour with The Aggrolites and Haywire supporting on most dates. The U.S. trek culminates March 13, 14, 15 and 17 in Boston with Dropkick Murphys’ annual run of hometown dates during St. Patrick’s Day week, which brings together DKM fans from around the globe.
