To commemorate the release of the band's fifth self-titled studio release, Boston, Massachusetts' punk rock ambassadors, STREET DOGS, will host an open to the public listening party August 12th, 2010. The band has decided to hold the Southern California event at The Slidebar Rock N Roll Café, located in historic downtown Fullerton. This unique celebration will afford friends, fans, and covering media the opportunity to preview STREET DOGS' August 31st release alongside the band in an intimate party.

Co-produced by bass player Johnny Rioux along with Rick Barton, and engineered and mixed by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, NOFX) at the infamous punk rock recording studio The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO., the self-titled STREET DOGS album is a vigorous testament to the band's longevity and ability to write inspiring punk rock that touches the soul and raises the fists. Following the release, the band will be touring in support of the new album along with Matt Freeman's (Rancid) side project, Devils Brigade, and this year's Celtic punk heroes Flatfoot 56.

Punk rock runs deep in the veins of Street Dogs, with McColgan's uncompromising lyrics alongside bassist Johnny Rioux, guitarists Marcus Hollar and Tobe Bean III and drummer Paul Rucker's fist pumping street punk anthems. The band burst onto the scene in 2002 and has released a string of classic albums including 2008's State of Grace, which critics called "a raucous and purposeful working man's ride" (Dallas Morning News) with "the kind of political streak rarely heard since the Clash" (Cleveland Scene).

In addition to previewing the new release, STREET DOGS, are giving one lucky fan the chance to win a seat at the dinner table. Hellcat Records and The Slidebar will give one winner and a guest the chance to have dinner with the band the night of the preview party. The winner will also get a special swag pack from Hellcat Records that includes a signed copy of the new STREET DOGS self-title.
