State of Grace

Mike McColgan (founding front man of Dropkick Murphys) and his band bring their passion-fueled songs to a wider audience with this Hellcat debut. Covering themes from politics to family to social injustice, these songs showcase a new depth while not abandoning the group's punk roots. With a main stage run on the entire 2008 Warped Tour and a batch of melodic, fist-pumping anthems to win over the crowd, Street Dogs are ready to take the streets. Produced by Ted Hutt (Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly). RIYL: Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, The Clash, Rancid.
