- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Mike McColgan û frontman, singer and songwriter for BostonÆs beloved punk
rock quintet Street Dogs û has lived the life that other bands just sing
about. As the founding frontman of Dropkick Murphys, McColgan helped bring
his experiences as a Gulf War combat veteran to the uncompromising, working
class sound that launched that band. But in 1998, following a family
tradition, McColgan left the band and music to become a Boston firefighter.
Four years later, he began jamming on nights off with some old friends from
the Boston punk scene; he found he needed the voice that only fronting a band
could give him, and the Street Dogs were born. Now Street Dogs are ready to
unleash their selftitled fifth album, the follow-up to their critically
acclaimed 2008 Hellcat debut State of Grace, which critics called "a raucous
and purposeful working man's ride" (Dallas Morning News) with ôthe kind of
political streak rarely heard since the Clashö (Cleveland Scene). After
incessant tours around the world alongside bands like The Offspring, Alkaline
Trio, and Anti-Flag, and headlining tours in US and UK in support of State of
Grace, Street Dogs were inspired by the ferocity of their audiences to make a
rabble-rousing, in-your-face punk record. With only one song cracking the
three-minute mark, McColgan and crew rail short and sweet, with topics
ranging from union-busting and modern radio to information overload. Street
Dogs is anthemic, heartfelt, and positive, an answer to the dehumanization of
modern life in the classic tradition of punk from the Clash and Sham 69 to
Green Day.
