WHAT PEOPLE SAID ABOUT DIRTBLONDE:

“Poptones.co.uk have never listened to such unabashed bile of pure rock'n'roll scuzz since we've last put on Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy 'Never Understand'. Dirtblonde roll around in drugged-up punk rock fuck you noise like they are the last rock'n'roll gang in town” POPTONES
“They look and sound like a cross between Sid & Nancy and Bonnie’n’ Clyde fed through a fuzz box. The guitarist looks like he's been on a crash course of rock n roll behaviour with The Cribs...[he] ends up trashing the set, and smashing his guitar into a glass bottle at the entrance of the venue. They seem to leave the audience speechless." - BBC

"[They] make an uncompromising noise and play chaotic gigs which often end with broken guitars, bruises, and blood. There has never been anything like them in Liverpool..." GIBSON.COM

“Continuing the grand tradition of sleaze-punk merchants like The Voidoids and The Jesus And Mary Chain...” The Fly magazine

“Far more abrasive intent than any NYC wannabe... you don’t have a Jack and Meg, you have more of Sid & Nancy meets natural born killers Mickey and Mallory. Lovely" ManchesterMusic Website

“A delicious slab of nasty rock scuzz... it’s the sound of motorcycle crashes, of bruised eyes, of existential rage and a yearning for glamour in a grey world” Kitten Painting Fanzine
