Street Dogs, have announced plans to return to the studio in February to record their fifth studio album and follow-up to their 2008 Hellcat debut “State of Grace”.  The band will be recording with bassist Johnny Rioux as producer and Rick Barton (original Dropkick Murphy’s guitarist) co-producing at the infamous punk rock studio the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado which was built by members of Descendents, All and Black Flag.

Singer Mike McColgan’s said “Every time we go into the studio we are trying to make our finest record. So on February ninth when we enter the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado that is the goal to make our best record.  Also this record will be more of a rabble rousing punk record than our previous records and have more of an edge and an attack on it.  We will work to all of our strengths on this effort and we are very excited to have Rick Barton co-producing the record.”

“Our next and fifth record will capture the purest form of the band to date,” adds Rioux.  “We are making it as if it were our first record. The punk and hardcore songs will be MORE punk and hardcore.  Our Celtic influence and songs will be more Celtic, the folk, folkier and so on.  It’s almost as if we are making records in the reverse of most bands. Ending up back at square one, and square one never sounded better.  Basically, we want to make our new favorite record.”

The band will follow their studio stint with an extensive 2 month European tour, starting this March in the UK.
