5.0 out of 5 stars
something new and different, February 19, 2004
By A Customer
i heard about this band because they are from Detroit and i heard them on the radio here. I first downloaded the 2 mp3s from their web site and was hooked..the song "Strange Generation" is really fun and could be a hit single, but we'll see, they're just starting to promote this album in Europe and then the States will start hearing these guys soon after. overall, the album rocks! i'm a big fan of Queens of the Stone Age, Clutch, Monster Magnet and other hard rock and 'stoner' bands...these guys fit right in with that group, i wouldn't call them "alternative rock" because they don't sing whiny songs and they have more of a classic rock sound than anything 3 Doors Down or Default has ever done. Although i see the producer for this disc was Paul Ebersold...he produced the huge album by 3 Doors Down ("the better life")...so that says alot about this record...excellent producer...excellent production...excellent album. Best songs: Burn You Down, Deep End, Way To Go, Chico.I heard an interview of the Dirty Americans...they were talking about the Detroit music scene (i.e. garage rock - White Stripes, Von Bondies, etc.) and they said "we're not part of that scene or any scene and they don't like us anyways" - so if you're sick of the garage rock sound and love hard and groovin' rock, then you will like this album.

The Dirty Americans deliver the goods the old fashioned way, July 31, 2006
THE BAND: Myron (vocals), Jeff Piper (guitars), Patrick Bever (bass), Jeremiah Pilbeam (drums & percussion). Hailing from Detroit, MI.
THE DISC: (2005) 13 tracks clocking in at just over 49 minutes. Included with the disc is a 4-page foldout containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, band photos, and thank you's. The case itself is a tri-fold with colorful 70's style artwork. Recorded at 747 Studios, Memphis, TN - producer Paul Ebersold (3 Doors Down, Sister Hazel, Skillet, Third Day). All songs written by Dirty Americans. The disc is 'enhanced' - featuring a quick bio and "Strange Generation" video. Label - Liquor & Poker Music / Roadrunner Records.
COMMENTS: The Dirty Americans deliver straight ahead (slightly) blues infused rock and roll. Some of these songs are right out of the 1970's. Other songs are sandwiched somewhere between the likes of Lenny Kravitz and the Queens Of the Stone Age. The album kicks off with the hard driving "No Rest". It continues with their first (minor) hit "Car Crash"... with its catchy, poppy, toe-tapping hook. The title track is fun and fast-paced as well. As much as the Dirty American's can rock, they can also slow it down. Check out the bluesy heartfelt "Give It Up", "Deep End", and the album closer "We Were Young". I find myself listening to the whole disc - without need to hit the skip button. As many highlights there are featuring the electric guitar, there are some equally beautiful acoustic moments here too. Production is crisp and fllawless. Living in Arizona, I haven't heard too much about the Dirty Americans of late - here's hoping the band can get a break and they catch on! Looking for new music - give this a try (4.5 stars).
