Dropkick Murphys Pull Off Hilarious Prank on Journalist

In a wild tale from the world of punk rock, Dropkick Murphys recently shared a memorable story involving a journalist and a prank that nearly landed him in jail. During an interview in Boston, the band decided to have a bit of fun after a colleague gave their album a less-than-stellar review.

It all began when the journalist, Rae Alexandra, arrived in Boston and was immediately held up at immigration for suspicious activity. After finally making it to the hotel, he was whisked away by the band to an Irish bar, where things took an unexpected turn. A police raid on the bar led to a frantic encounter with the Boston PD, and the journalist found himself being questioned about drugs he didn’t possess.

What the journalist didn’t know was that the band had orchestrated this entire scenario as a form of revenge for the poor review. They had even called in friends on the force to make the prank even more elaborate. Fortunately, the band realized they liked him enough not to let him spend the night in jail, but the prank was too good to pass up.

The next day, during a photoshoot, the band left him in a minivan parked illegally, joking that he should be used to sirens by now. This hilarious incident showcases the playful side of Dropkick Murphys, reminding everyone that in the world of rock, laughter is often just as important as the music.
