It looks like the Dropkick Murphys have found a politician they like.

The Boston-based punk band in January told Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to stop playing their music, but on Saturday they praised Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

Back in January, the band told Scott Walker, “we literally hate you,” after he walked onto the stage to one of their songs at the Iowa Freedom Summit.
