Mike McColgan – frontman, singer and songwriter for Boston’s
beloved punk rock quintet Street Dogs – has lived the life that other
bands just sing about. As the founding frontman of Dropkick
Murphys, McColgan helped bring his experiences as a Gulf War
combat veteran to the uncompromising, working class sound that
launched that band. But in 1998, following a family tradition,
McColgan left the band and music to become a Boston firefighter.
Four years later, he began jamming on nights off with some old
friends from the Boston punk scene; he found he needed the voice that
only fronting a band could give him, and the Street Dogs were born.
