In these last few years we are missing some plain street punk, no holds barred in your face punkrock with an attitude and anthemic songs. Luckily, the new album by the Boston veterans Street Dogs is just that. I listened and reviewed the record for this webzine.
The album contains 11 songs of American punkrock and I loved every minute of this record. I won´t go to the ex Dropkick Murphys stuff here because Street Dogs don´t deserve the comparisons, being the unique punk band for themselves and they don˙t need to live eternally in somebody˙s shadow. There are couple of highlights on this record. First, the title track is a call to arms, meaning that changes won˙t come via mouse click but you need to go out to the streets. “Angels calling” is a punkrock anthem that everyone can relate to, made for singing along in some pub and jumping to the beat. “These ain˙t the old days” made goosebumps on my skin and brought tears to my eyes waking me some emotions long gone. “Working class heroes” is in my opinion the best song on this record, an anthem for depraved, underpaid and stomped upon workers. There are couple of more rockish songs that did not work so well with me, but “Never above you, never below you” made me smile again. In all, this is the full blooded, pumping punkrock street punk album.
