The Lovesores

**The Lovesores** are a Boston-bred punk rock outfit that’s been cranking out raw, beer-soaked anthems since the mid-’90s. Fronted by Mike McColgan (also known for his work with Dropkick Murphys and Street Dogs), the band blends street-punk energy with catchy, no-frills rock ‘n’ roll. Their sound—a love letter to bands like The Clash and Stiff Little Fingers—is all about grit, heart, and unapologetic hooks.

Recent releases like the snarling *Rock and Roll Animal - EP* and the adrenaline-packed *Focke-Wulf vs. Spitfire* showcase their knack for fist-pumping riffs and working-class storytelling. Tracks like *Fast Friends* and *Red Alert* prove they haven’t lost their knack for writing shout-along choruses tailor-made for dive-bar chaos. With a reputation for sweat-drenched live shows and a loyal following, The Lovesores remain a no-bullshot mainstay in the punk scene.
