Their new EP Wanna Be Famous is fifteen minutes of vintage sounding garage rock. The Donnas and The Ramones are obviously a big influence - they say so themselves, but they also touch base with heavy acts with a weak spot for boogie (AC/DC, Bachman Turner Overdrive).
In-your-face, aiming for your guts, The Dirty Denims are the perfect antidote for these dark economic days. Play really fucking loud.
The Dirty Denims:
Mirjam: vocals, guitar
Jeroen: guitar
Sabine: bass
Thomas: drums
Wanna Be Famous is a self-released EP. Buy it from the band's website.
