Already 2008 is looking good because a couple of my absolute favorite artists have come up with new material. Here’s my review of the Dirtbombs latest, up today at Dusted. The DirtbombsWe Have You Surrounded(In the Red)A couple of years ago, when I talked to Mick Collins, he said that the Dirtbombs were probably more than halfway through their arc as a band and that after one more album, their bubblegum record, they would most likely call it quits. Collins observed that ... MORE

There was drinking, there was dancing, the was singing, and there was the solicitation of drug deals. There was The Dirtbombs, Dan Sartain, and The Terrible Twos. I'll be pretty much ignoring The Terrible Twos, because despite being good they just weren't that memorable aside from their "Early Henry Rollins Gone Horribly Wrong" front man. Dan Sartain, however, was memorable as hell. Coming in knowing nothing of him, I was witness to him, his guitar, and his borrowed fr... MORE

The Dirtbombs' singer is Mick Collins. The album was recorded in 2003 but only came out last February.
I like the two rhythm sections and Collins' voice.
Rawk!

The Dirtbombs have a new album. I'm probably much more excited about this than you, but that only proves that I am in fact a better human being than you are. It's called "We Have You Surrounded" and it's about as serious as they're ever likely to get. Basically, Mick Collins has gone on an apocalypse kick. But it's still damn good. "Indivisible" and "Wreck My Flow" are as instantly listenable as anything that was on "Ultraglide in Black", "Race to the Bottom" is all abou... MORE

Thanksgiving leftovers aren't the only thing that was rocking the house over the weekend here. The Dirtbombs' double-disc collection of singles, rarities, and covers If You Don't Already Have a Look is responsible for keeping my blood pumping when the tryptophan coma threatened to take over, and I fully intend to keep up the pace heading back into the workweek. First, a little number to start your Monday off with a kick... ... and then my belated contribution to Sunday ... MORE

Holy crap. Last week, I tossed my iPod on shuffle for a few errands I needed to drive around for here at work, and I think my little electronic wonder was stuck in the 1990's. In sequence (and lamely enough, deemed worthy enough of scribbling down by me for future reference): Pearl Jam - "Black (live)" Weezer - "Only in Dreams" Smashing Pumpkins - "Blue Skies Bring Tears electric" Pearl Jam - "Jeremy (live)" Pavement - "Nothing Ever Happens" Dinosaur Jr. - "The Pickle So...

The Dirtbombs, arguably the best rock'n'roll band from the Detroit area since The Stooges, were formed by Mick Collins (previously of the Gories) in 1995 to record only 7” singles. But when the record label In The Red persuaded Collins to record an album, his idea was to treat it as a unit that demonstrates one musical idea. This is what each of the band's albums so far has done. Horndog Fest (1998) is a dirty punk rock record. Ultraglide In Black (2001) is a collection of... MORE
