INFO:

Another fine example of a partyshacker is The Dirtshakes 10" "The Kicks Are Alright!". This new line-up featuring some of the very finest musicians from The Solingen-scene dwells around in a vivid mixture of all-out rawkin' powerpop and sparkling melodic punky riffs. The Dirtshakes mixes the best of The Jet Bumpers with some standard harmonies and melodies as created by bands like Buzzcocks, The Undertones, The Devil Dogs, The Lyres, The Fun Things and The Eastern Dark. I allready got this wet feeling while going over and over this record, The Dirtshakes are a band created for no other thing than PARTY and since I recently saw them live at The Stardust Spring Rumble : I know I was right. Party all the way up and down with The Dirtshakes in the frontrow shakin' and strollin' over one chord wonders and other r ambling rousers. I love it and it'll take a lot more than a bunch of wanking guitars to proove me otherwise.
