Meanings of songs

According to McColgan, he always looked up to his uncle and role-model, Kevin O'Toole, who became the subject of "Kevin J. O'Toole."

The song "Two Angry Kids" is reportedly a reminiscing of the times spent with Dropkick Murphys bassist Ken Casey.

"San Patricios" is about a group of Irish immigrants who defected from the United States Army during the Mexican-American War.

"The General's Boombox" is a song about and dedicated to Joe Strummer of The Clash
