Street Dogs, Stigma, and Roger Miret And The Disasters at The Black Cat
Many younger fans of Dropkick Murphys might not remember Mike McColgan, the group’s original singer, who quit after the band’s 1998 debut, Do Or Die, to become a Boston firefighter. Punk rock called him back, though, and McColgan resurfaced in 2002 as the leader of Street Dogs. 2008’s State Of Grace returns McColgan to his roots by bringing more of a Celtic sound to his band’s snarling street punk, and paying tribute to obvious influence Joe Strummer with the eulogy “The General’s Boombox.”
