Street Dogs Information
|
|
'Street Dogs' is a punk rock band hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. The lead singer is Mike McColgan, former lead singer of Dropkick Murphys.
In 1998, McColgan left Dropkick Murphys, after releasing their first full-length record, Do or Die, to pursue a life-long dream of becoming a firefighter for the Boston Fire Department. Street Dogs formed in 2002 after McColgan decided he could no longer stay away from music. Their first album Savin Hill was a complete success and resulted in a supporting tour with Irish punk band Flogging Molly. The band underwent a complete shuffle in 2004 when McColgan emotionally quit his firefighting career to continue his musical career and to record their latest album Back To The World, losing fellow ex-Murphys drummer, Jeff Erna and guitarist, Rob Guidotti.
The Street Dogs are notable as their lyrics relate to the working class and there is no doubt that they draw influence from the likes of Billy Bragg with their "fight for the worker" attitude.
