STREET DOGS ON THE ROAD AGAIN

September 8, 2008

Boston's Beloved Dogs Will Roam Home On Sept 27th & 28th

Street Dogs are set to launch their cross-country, headlining tour on Sept 11th in Houston, TX, which will include two hometown shows in Boston on Sept 27th and 28th. Unleashed and on the road, the Street Dogs are touring in support of their critically acclaimed new album, State of Grace.

The Boston raised band have made a name for themselves over the years with rowdy and participatory live shows that are packed with enough fist pumping and frenzied pit action to leave fans coming back for more.

The Street Dogs' fourth studio album, State of Grace, invokes a sense of camaraderie with songs about family life, hardships, war and redemption, and critics across the country are raising their pints to the album. Singer Mike McColgan, a former Boston firefighter and gulf war vet, draws on a wealth of life experiences and observations to inspire his riveting vocal performances, adding a touch of sincere urgency to the non-stop fist-a-cuffs of teeth-gnashing punk rock that the band is known for.

- "State of Grace is the most raw, hones and punk rock record The Street Dogs have ever done. Definitely a contender for best album of 2008." – BBC Radio 1

- "Street Dogs combines the drive of Bad Religion with Against Me's balance of catchy, layered songwriting and critical appeal." – Charlotte Observer

- "State of Grace goes back to the hard-bitten, world-wise punk of decades past, with fist-pumping choruses packing an immediacy that doesn't detract from the songs' fierce smarts." – The Hartford Courant

- "Strident protest songs sung by-and for-a tightly knit community" – Penthouse
