UKMETALUNDERGROUND.COM Review177 dagen geleden
 
Reviewed by: HammerHalo

The first thing that immediately caught my attention, as the Dirty Rose MySpace page loaded, was the fact that this Scottish power trio will be supporting Gun and Blaze Bayley, in May and June of this year respectively. Not a shabby achievement in itself, seeing as both Gun and Blaze are enjoying quite a resurgence from their earlier glory days.

... then I caught a look at Rose's influences, and an inevitable smile crossed my face.
Ah yes - right then and there, I had the feeling that an old warhorse like myself might like these guys, haha!


Anyway, proceedings on the player kick off with a somewhat 'in your face' track called "Doctor" ...
... And right from the get-go it's an 80's metal timewarp ; in this instance bringing a Saxon/Megadeth inkling to this writer's mind.
This song also offers the best production of the creations on display here, with bassist Alan Clarkson's 'tough' vocals being very reminiscent of the glorious NWOBHM music scene, all those aeons ago. Also, when the lead break kicks in, it's as you'd expect to hear the band in a live environment ; an energetic fretboard workout riding atop the lone rumbling bass and heavily-hit drums ; the bare-bones rawness only adding to the appeal.

No Place To Run", "No Way Back", "Insanity", Waiting To Die" and "Price To Pay" then follow each other, and they crunch and chug along quite nicely - all of them being well executed, as well as hitting a pronounced mid-paced old school Metallica/DiamondHead-esque groove (especially on "Insanity")

Still, in my estimations, when a band is still in its relative infancy, there's nothing wrong with proudly wearing your metal heart on your sleeve ... And whilst the production on these five remaining tracks aren't (to my ears) as 'sonically clear' as the opener, they're still far from difficult to listen to, with every instrument occupying its own space with acceptable force and clarity.


But yes ; if there's to be a critical element to this review, then it probably comes in the form of the dreaded "lack of variation" quote. After a while, all the songs on the player seem to meld into one another, so experimentation with different time signatures and feels will definitely see this band evolve in a very positive manner.


I personally see quite a bit of promise in Dirty Rose. They're already a very tight, cohesive unit, and I'm sure that their obvious conviction and pride in what they play will only enhance what will come for them.

7/10

You can really hear the classic metal influences on this demo from Scottish Trio Dirty Rose as Iron Maiden go head to head with Metallica.

‘No Way Back’ is a good opener; a solid tune with a nice melody supported by fuzzy, rumbling bass lines, heavy drums and decent, but not too predictable chunky riffs. ‘Insanity’ chugs along at a slightly slower but still insistent pace, it’s pretty similar to the first track but with some nice soloing from the guitar. ‘Waiting To Die’ takes things up a notch with a slightly heavier wall of noise and a stop/start rhythm that adds some welcome variety to the drums.

Overall this is a solid demo with some more than decent tunes that would definitely benefit from slightly better production but there’s definitely potential here. (23/05/2008)

Channel 4 review649 dagen geleden
 
by Ric Rawlins

"Rev up your Harleys and polish your skull ornaments: the Scottish metallers are in the mood to party.

For a three-piece, they have a huge, growling sound that's right out of a Hell's Angels jukebox.

To break out, they'd do well to subvert metal cliches instead of embracing them, but there's no denying the raw power behind their greasy riffs."

St. Margarets Academy Gig Review649 dagen geleden
 
St. Margarets Academy gig (7/2/08) review by Syndicate Thirteen:

“Saxon, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or even Metallica old school rock is back. More and more bands are reviving the way it used to be done and as the reforms come back the newbies bring their own edge. Dirty Rose do that and bring a level of fun and good cheer into the bargain, which is good to see. Strong, solid tunes which are reflected in live performance as well as their self titled demo.”
