Just such an awesome album. Straight up, no bullshit punk, which is refreshing in these times of boys wearing makeup and caring more about their looks then the music their playing.

I love this album. It's so addicting and catchy.

Hey steve jones the bones, there is fucking nothing wrong with being happy about where u r from. Street Dogs are a great band, this is a great album and not all of their songs are about Boston. I also cant believe u had the guts to put ur email at the end of ur comment

Whoa! This as rockin' as "Savin Hill"! I wasn't so excited about "Back To The World"- it was pretty good but "Savin Hill" is SO good that it definitely paled. This seems like a winner!

This is the best punk release of the last five years.

This album is pretty seriously awesome. It's very loud and boisterous, which makes it fun, but it's also really well written. It's one of those albums which is fun without being stupid and goofy, which is a rare combo.

An absolutely spectacular album! They have equaled the Dropkick Murphys now. Of course not in terms of popularity but in terms of quality.

First album = 10
2nd album = 8
3rd album = haven't heard it yet, but i saw 2 weeks ago w/ the souls and i liked what i heard.

If the singer didn't live in LA, maybe they could.

Can these guys claim Boston when they have two guys from Texas in the band?

I loved old DKM, but for some reason I could never get into these guys' first two albums. I'm listening to this album online right now, however, and I think I'm gonna have to pick it up. Definitely their best work to date.

I could be completely off, but I felt like with their first two albums were "Mike from DKM's new band," but I think they sound more comfortable with themselves as a band now.

This album is pretty good, I agree with the observation of it being "Do or Die 2".

I also agree that GC5 did Union better.

That Power in a Union cover is seriously one of the worst things Ive ever heard. Terrible.

"its so weird, erik seems to fit in perfect with what the ratchets are doing, and same can be said of steve with the rebels"

I know. Pull the ol drummer switch....kind of.

Three cheers for straight up fucking punk rock.

Good review. Great album. Street Dogs also put on a hell of a live show.

I ordered this yesterday solely cause the review mentioned they cover fatty.

and i've seen the souls do ole a bunch of times... maybe they just dont do it anymore... who feckin cares though, as long as they do neurotic and joe lies i go home happy.

GC5 DID "UNION" BETTER

and the Souls never do Ole

Waterpoo must be a joke account...

how could someone complain about not hearing Ole and then say they played too many old songs.

Waterpoo:

How can a band be too loud?? Wear earplugs or get out of the front row d-bag.

souls old stuff is better asswipe

street dogs are the best live band around besides the briggs

dont post ever again

i saw this band last week with the bouncing souls. they were too loud. they seemed all non-organized and garbage-like. i don' tknow why people like them.

even the souls let me down. they didn't even play ole, and they played too much old stuff.

the album stream is pretty awesome.

i'd never heard of them before now, but im definitely gonna have to get on board.

Who's going to see them in LA w/ the Souls on 11/3?

See you there.

My Score:

they've done it again

great replay value, slightly better than Back To The World

Great record.

This band has been a giant yawn fest from its inception.

album of the year

Oh, and Jones, keep on rokcin mothahfuckah.

clarification: "There is Power in a Union" was written by folk/protest hero Joe Hill, not Billy Bragg.

this album, with the "we're from boston, and we are from the street, da na na, na na na"

disgusts me to no end.

first time i have been disgusted by a band in a really long time because of the songs they actually wrote

for some reason that song disgusts me as much as davey havok does

GOOD god, shut the hell up already.

getting this today, sweet review as well-oldpunker-

Uno del consistantly gran grupos en directo fuera allí en este momento. Mi material favorito de DKM estaba con Mike McColgan de todos modos, así que hizo el sentido perfecto que los Perros de Calle serían así como buenos, si no mejor y a mí, yo tengo razón. Yo los veo siempre que puedo, no puedo esperar el nuevo álbum.

I've never heard these guys before. I'm listening to the previews on iTunes and they sound A LOT like the Bouncing Souls. Not a bad thing. I might pick this release up.

"Sell Your Lies" is amazing...actually, all the songs are. duh.

Don't have anything bad to say about the Street Dogs. Me likey.

well Mike, you'll be happy to know that they opened with that song on Friday night and it was fucking glorious.

I'm seeing these guys on Wednesday and I can't wait to hear "Not Without A Purpose" live. This is definitely the best shit they've ever done.

My Score:

I picked this up after the show on thursday, and I agree that it's the best work they've ever done. I'm actually listening to it right now, right in the middle of "Final Transmission." It's a late entry but it'll be in the top ten albums of the year.

My favorite part is in "Katie Bar the Door" where the following occurs

"Oh, they're singing another union song... YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM!"

My Score:

This album is awesome. Right up there with the new Briggs on my spinlist.

One of the consistantly great live bands out there right now. My favorite DKM stuff was with Mike McColgan anyway, so it made perfect sense that the Street Dogs would be just as good, if not better and to me, I'm right. I see them whenever I can, can't wait for the new album
