Brand new record.

Street Dogs - Street Dogs [LP]

(new band from Mike McColgan of Dropkick Murphys, includes CD of album)   

Hellcat    HEL-80517-1    045778051717    LP    Alternative Rock, Punk   

Mike McColgan - frontman, singer and songwriter for Boston's beloved punk rock quintet Street Dogs - 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 ''the kind of political streak rarely heard since the Clash'' (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.

* Produced by Rick Barton of Dropkick Murphys at infamous punk rock studio the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado.
* The band has built a frantic live following though years of non-stop touring with bands like Tiger Army, Rancid, Social Distortion and Flogging Molly.
* Street Dogs' catalog has soundscanned over 80,000 records to date
* For fans of Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Gaslight Anthem, The Clash and Rancid.

Record Grading

Mint (M): New condition.

Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect, a record with no obvious signs of wear, a perfect sleeve with no more than the most minor defects and signs of slight handling.

Very Good Plus (VG+): A very good plus record will show signs that it was played, but was taken good care of by the previous owner. Record surface may show slight signs of wear or minor scuffs that do not affect play. Picture sleeves may have slight wear, lightly turned up corners.

Very Good (VG): A very good record will show groove wear and may have a few vinyl imperfections which will affect the sound. Picture sleeves will show slightly more wear with perhaps a frayed top edge, ring wear or seam breakdown.

Good (G) / Good Plus (G+): A good record will show significant wear and /or scratches, but will play through without skipping. It will have considerable surface noise. Picture sleeves may have seam splits @ bottom & spines, tape, writing, ring wear, stickers and other defects that will start to overwhelm the item. A good or good plus item is usually acquired to fill a hole in a collection until a better copy comes along.
