Dirty Mitts-Ride the Storm
Filthy, greasy and kind of awesome. That is what Dirty Mitts symbolise, and go for in their music. This is riff based classic rock that has been attempted to be scrubbed away with the “freshness” of pop. The result is them going harder, faster and hook-ier than many indie bands around. This is their latest single, Ride the Storm. On a list of difficult things to do, riding a storm is one I would place in the top 3. We have watched the movies, Twister, The Perfect Storm, etc. You’ll however want to do it, if the soundtrack of your daring pugilism with the storm is this song. The riff hits your first, like that salty high tide. Then you’re settled in the groove, as the whirlpool grows larger and larger around you. It has that Blackstone Cherry/verse section riff of Mississippi Queen by Mountain going on as well. You feel like you’re in an 80s rock radio station, just you with your chilled beer, awesome games and a good time. Dirty Mitts are the band that will promise you a golden delivery, as they always have with their music. Vocals are better than Axl, and that’s saying a lot. You might have heard Women, Ball and Chain and uptempo energetic songs from Dirty Mitts. They are a mainstay in many playlists, and their music ensures everything continues to be hard as hell. This song would be perfect in the movie Logan Lucky (2017). Listen to their catchy rock track here with us and follow them on Spotify and their socials to find out more!:
Dirty Mitts-Hands Off
Dirty Mitts just want to rock out, so better hear or steer out of the way. The band from UK, Poland, and Egypt have a lot to offer, given their different introductions to rock. The same way, they have some great ingredients to add in this scrumptious cocktail that is this band. This is their EP, Hands Off. It would be evident with an album title like that, people would naturally want to listen to their songs. From the opening riff of You Better Run!, the band is given an opening warning sign in disguise of a pit bull wearing a grenade jacket. Tommy brings his A game to the vocals every time, they expect it from those bluesy, memorable lyrics. Both the guitarists are Mo, so it should show why they have such great sync. They are the Young brothers of this band, the boon rhythm section. Together, the 5 pronged spear is always ready to strike. How do you not love a riff like My Show? It has that Whole Lotta Rosie odd time catch, and you’ll hear people yelling this on the streets. I mean, good for the band and us, who doesn’t want a new rock band to fall in love with? Ball and Chain brings us back to the classic rock fan moment, singing about the woman in your life. Dirty Mitts don’t want it to sound that bland, so this track packs the energy twofold. If you thought that song was lovely, their love for women doesn’t stop there. This could be suggested to me by the sticky hot riff of Women, which Dirty Mitts execute once more to perfection. A good riff can be hummed, sung and memorized usually in one listen. Target achieved, all around. One of their best singles of all time comes with Ride the Storm, it sounds like a classic UFO riff. Mo 1 & 2 bring the thunder with the kind of weight only a real storm would carry. The band goes berserk, and they should. Their EP is closing, and a champagne on their hull won’t be enough. They’re going for carnage, and they’re doing one hell of a job of it. I tend to stick to my classic favourites in rock, but Dirty Mitts is one of those bands that seeped through my playlist. It has a rhythm and groove that just won’t stop infiltrating my head. They have the charisma, the style and the ways to execute a song so that it becomes your earworm for the week. This EP would be great in the 2nd season of Sons of Anarchy, a great show with solid themes and an underrated soundtrack. Listen to their spectacular EP here and follow the guys for more addictive music sure to come!
Dirty Mitts-Electric Kid
Dirty Mitts have always been grease monkeys. These rock n roll lovers have delivered straight up, original and frenzy worthy music for years now. With no plan to be contemporary jack in the boxes, they get us that crafty rock you can groove and move to, time and time again. Without further ado, they present to you, Electric Kid. It doesn’t get more garage rock than this. Dirty Mitts uses a simple riff and vocals to tease you, then bring the big guns in. The riff has some sly trickery, yet keeps the heat and spring of the live sound in it. Tommy has the haunting voice that echoes in the back of your head. If you’re a real fan, you know how he’ll shape-shift and deliver some choice rock chops. The rest of the band hangs back, knowing that the show is going to be worth it. The bluesy hum retains, while the rhythm eases in with style and finesse. Dirty Mitts give us their blues admiration in a single that can only be called blue fire. This is the hottest part, and it diffuses over you like a hot summer track. The solo delivers exactly what the song needs, the frills and bells all deserving for the slow jogging track time signature. All in all, Dirty Mitts deliver sludgy rock again, while paying respect to the legends. Their songs like Women and Ride the Storm are some of my favourites. I also recommend you check out their EP from last year called Hands Off. This song would be great in The Dilemma (2011), with some great sequences needing a suave and drip worthy track. Check out the band above and ensure you follow them on their socials for more like this!
