When Dutch hardrockers The Dirty Denims released their EP Back With A Bang - part 1 earlier this year, they promised that there would be a Part 2 in October. They lied. Well, sort of. They have decided to skip the Part 2 release and will put out a full album instead. The new songs have fun written all over them, with quite of hints to heroes throw. Note The Knack's My Sharona guitar lick in the escapist anthem Virtual Reality or the ZZ Top meets AC/DC rifferama in One Way Ticket (the hell outta here). Long for the Ramones? Bad Reputation takes care of that.
The Dirty Denims call themselves a happy hardrock band. And that's what they are: loud, fun and loaded with great hooks and attitude. Loud Stuff that will turn their live audience into a headbanging, air guitar playing friendly mob. Back With A Bang won't turn R&B and hip-hop fans into rawkers instantly, but it might make them rethink their taste in music. Turn it up, all the way to eleven. We Want More indeed.
Back With A Bang will be released thru Handclap Records (CD, red vinyl, digital). Preorder it from their website. People who bought Part 1 get a 7 euro discount. Release date: October 27th.
