The Dropkick Murphys are a prime example of that whenever and wherever they play live.

Recently, a song performed by the Murphys -- perhaps the most successful Boston punk band this decade -- had been used in the HBO comedy-drama series, which concerns the day-to-day trials and tribulations of an Italian Mafioso, Tony Soprano, as he tries to reconcile "Family" business with raising his own family.
