The California stoner rock crew return with an all new demo, a tentative group of songs that
could be the follow-up to their impressive debut, "Sonic Dynamite", which is still available through
Dead Teenager Records. This demo finds Patrock and company going back to a full on 70s sound here,
mixing it up with odes to Kiss, Boston, Stephenwolf, and Mountain. Each track here is skillfully
played with a nod to the old school, bluesy and doomy, with a fuzzy sense of melody, bringing back
the classic sounds of a hard rock era, before the onlslaught of heavy metal even came into play.
By all means, this demo isn't the same sound that the group's demo possessed, instead this is
simply a good romp through the 70s, with the debut being a bit more modern, it added in the metal
influences of COC, Black Sabbath, and even Foo Fighters at times. I'm not sure what Dirty Power
have in store for the new album, but this demo gives me a pretty good idea that they could tackle
an album filled with 70s sounds. I wouldn't have any problem with that, as the guys construct this
sound so well. This is just pure "good old fashioned hard-rock attitude" with plenty of alcohol and gasoline fury
and a rock bottom guitar frenzy that deserves recognition.
Check Dirty Power out cause it's what is missing from metal!
