Editorial Reviews

With the band having been relatively dormant for years, really since the late 90's, suddenly singer/guitarist Henrik Ostergaard and various ex and new members of the band have been putting out a slew of new material. The disc was mastered by Anthony Focx (ACE FREHLEY, FOREINGER, BANG TANGO, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, BUCKCHERRY).

another great piece of work from henrick and the gang , rippin guitars, poundin drums , produced nicely ,this bad boy picks up where the last 2 left off , this cd is touch more grittier in my eyes than " superdeluxe", but non the less on the same page, it don`t disappoint except for the matter of somewhat of a insrumental and a live tune from 94 "chewin on the bit" but the nine outta 11 are VERY good rockin tunes to toss in for a cruise or a party time ,fun style rock, can`t wait for the live one after halloween time to drop thru perris records, they been true rockin , don`t do it like this much anymore ,GOTTA LOVE IT !!!

A GREAT "classic" CD by Dirty Looks. They sound as good on California Free Ride as they did on Cool From The Wire & Turn of the Screw. They way the are releasing CD's now - I can't wait for the next one!!

Wow, what a fine slab of sleazy rock! If you liked Gasoline and/or Superdeluxe, don't stop yet because this is the best of the three. IN fact, I like this disc better than several of their earlier releases, ranking this one up there with '5 Easy Pieces'. Henrik and his band really go for it here, with fast-driving songs and just enough production to make it more accessible than 'Gasoline' (although the rawness of that one is kind of nice in its own right). Not quite as produced as 'Superdeluxe', this one seems to really capture Dirty Looks' sound and energy. I heard in an interview that Henrik is most proud of this record. It sounds like they are having fun and it's infectious. Most of the songs have a sound that harkens back to the title cut for '5 Easy Pieces', with just a touch less production. Has been difficult to take this one out of rotation in my car. Still haven't, actually. This disc is better than 'Chewing on the Bit', 'One Bad Leg', 'Slave to the Machine', and the other two they more recently put out. So don't be scared! A very nice return to form for these guys, and a welcome blast of old school hard rock!!
