\"\"<\/a>In 25 words or less: \u201cTurn it up loud and support REAL musicians and rock \u2018n\u2019roll\u201d\u2026courtesy of The Dirty Love.<\/em><\/p>\n

Upon my first listen to The Dirty Love and their cracking album Black and White <\/em>my overwhelming reaction was, \u201cwhy hadn\u2019t I heard of these guys before?\u201d\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s the fact they are based in Tasmania, as us mainland folk are certainly guilty at times of not paying the attention we should to our Tassie neighbours…but importantly, now I know them. \u00a0With bands such as The Dirty Love, King Cannons and Boy In A Box to name but a few, it\u2019s definitely an exciting changing of the guard for rock fans here in Australia.\u00a0 Where there was a time when every second new rock band seemed to be riding the vapour trails of Airbourne, now we have a new breed coming through.\u00a0 Well as far as The Dirty Love who have been in existence since 2003 and supported the likes of Grinspoon, Calling All Cars, The Casanova\u2019s and King Cannons\u2026they aren\u2019t exactly “new”.<\/p>\n

High octane and snarly rock n roll is the order of the day when it comes to The Dirty Love and Black & White<\/em>. \u00a0They\u2019ve got attitude – a punkish attitude, they are a little bit dangerous, they\u2019ve got swagger and they sure can deliver some scorching, addictive 3 minute rock songs, none better than Radio Revolution.\u00a0 <\/em>With lyrics such as \u201cget up and dance to my rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, take cancer off the radio\u201d <\/em>do I need to state it\u2019s an anthem for those of us that are sick and tired of the shitful rock that you can hear on commercial radio all over the nation?<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the dynamic of having three brothers Damon in the band that give\u2019s the band that \u201cedge\u201d, that sense of electric, rambunctious energy that seeps through in songs such as Party <\/em>and Disbeliever.\u00a0 <\/em>I haven\u2019t yet seen the band live, but I expect these two tracks are definite starters in their live set?\u00a0 As first single and video, Kings and Queens <\/em>serves as perfect introduction to what the band is about, if this is the first people may hear of the band.\u00a0 Some tasty guitar riffs and a Chris Cheney style solo give the song a slight The Living End, vibe.\u00a0 Which speaking of The Living End, it should be noted that the stellar production throughout the album comes courtesy of Lindsay Gravina and Birdland Studio\u2019s, both of which The Living End have been associated.<\/p>\n

Clocking in at 11 songs and 35 minutes, The Dirty Love deliver one hell of a debut album. \u00a0Releasing this album independently, I couldn\u2019t put it any better myself than the band have in their liner notes \u201cturn it up loud and support REAL musicians and rock \u2018n\u2019roll\u201d\u2026 \u00a0That means YOU, yes YOU, now is your time to support some awesome new Aussie Rock!<\/p>\n
