Dirty Looks :: California Free Ride
Perris Records
By The Atomic Chaser
Back even better than ever! Dirty Looks returns with a straight-ahead, hard rock riff assault with their new release, 'California Free Ride'. This album is by far their best, since 'Five Easy Pieces'. The one thing that has always impressed me about Dirty Looks is their attitude in their musical delivery. When it comes to bringing the rock hard and heavy, these boys deliver the goods. On the new album the boys deliver the goods and then some. Henrik Ostergaard is in top form and sounds as good as he did back in the day. Henrik's brother's in arms, Eric Brewer on guitars, Jack Pyers on bass and Ed Collins on drums provide the fire power that give this release an attitude and swagger that pulls no punches and goes for the throat. The title track set off this powder keg of a release with Henrik and the boys giving you fair warning that from here on out, you are about to get seriously ROCKED! As they proceed to do so with tracks like, "Look In The Mirror", the supercharged, "Only Child" and the low down and dirty swagger of "Shake". All ten tracks are guaranteed to seriously shake your foundation. 'California Free Ride' is Dirty Looks as you remember them but more powerful and a bit less melodic. You can't go wrong with this new Dirty Looks release and if you are a fan, this is a real treat to have. Rocking just as hard as ever and ready to let the world know that are back and they are taking no prisoners! Welcome back boys!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
