Solo inspired album that raged into a new act into itself we give you UK's vibrant export rockers DIRTY WHITE BOYS with their latest release titled Down And Dirty via Escape Music Ltd. One might consider these bad boys of rock somewhat of a trip down memory lane where glam was solidifying into more of an east coast (USA) influence of acts of BON JOVI, WHITE LION meets west coast L.A. GUNS, TELSA that ultimately in the end forged DIRTY WHITE BOYS. Cultivating their craft before forming in 2016 the band brings past experience from acts of KISS OF THE GYPSY (Tony Mitchell-Vocalist guitarist), DEMON AND LAWLESS (Neil Odgen-Drums, Paul Hume-Lead Guitarist), BAILEY (Nigel Bailey-Bass) and LAWLESS (Jamie Crees-Guitar).

Complete with a group of talented gents DIRTY WHITE BOYZ brings characteristic rock music into a new front with revamped late 80's glam to late 90's guitar flying soloing there is an essence of progressive guitar playing that comes with it. Guitarists Jamie Crees and Paul Hume own the energy that is conveyed with expressive works for they each add their own element mixing well into the what makes this group a refreshing rock act. Songs that showcase guitar talent are "All She Wrote, "Rise" and "Bring It On" reveal the backbone of what makes this band a true solid being.

Track "Ride With Angels" is a melodic ballad where one can reminiscence of a past song by BON JOVI's "Bed Of Roses" to which if carefully listening one might think that this is a redone tune with an entire whole new set of lyrics and briefly changed structure. Starting with melodic guitar and slow beats to which the song slowly picks up into a high emotional piece which ultimately at the end wins into favor for the band really owns this song despite it's similarity. "Playing Dirty" kicks in a slow vibe which livens up before mid point of song that has that raspy guitar mood which tears into a heavy paced tune that is expressively written. DIRTY WHITE BOYZ own there style and make the best of their sound besides whatever past references one can make out for Down And Dirty works well into todays rock format. Changing into another musical skin "All In The Name Of Rock N Roll" introduces a heavy yet light guitar zest that pumps energy which the rhythm section pounds on while vocalist Tony Mitchell belts out this tune. After listening to this track one might pounder if JON BON JOVI is fronting the band POISON. You'll understand what I mean after listening to this.

Fondly traveling down memory with a smile gives you the feelers check out DIRTY WHITE BOYZ latest nostalgic release Down And Dirty for it delivers the past into the new present day.
