Dirt Mall is made up of some guys who like to play rock music. One of them is named Derek. Most of them are not named Derek. Fine... if you must know, the other guys are named Johnny, Jason, and sometimes Jamie. Jamie is like "Y": sometimes he’s a vowel, sometimes he isn’t. And just like "Y", no one ever knows when he is and when he isn’t.
Influences
The Hellacopters, The Stooges, MC5, AC/DC, The Replacements, Radio Birdman, Supersuckers, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Cult, Nebula, Black Sabbath and other good bands.

Dirt Mall was formed by two guys that wanted to get together and play some rock music. Let's call them "Johnny" and "Derek". Derek, uh, I mean "Derek", played a couple of the songs for his friend "Jason" one night. "Jason" thought the songs were decent enough, and started coming down to the practice space with his guitar. No one has ever really asked "Jason" to be in the band. He keeps coming to practices, though. "Jamie" sometimes comes down to play bass. Sometimes he doesn't.
Dirt Mall recorded a record. It's called "Got The Goat By The Horns". Click on over to CD Baby and pick up a few copies because you love all things Dirt Mall. Or you can download the record from iTunes right now!

Big guitars, great production, and songs that stick to your brain like that new strand of Syphilis you can get off a toilet seat in India. Dirt Mall is a force to be reckoned with. The band's debut release, 'Got The Goat By The Horns', comes at you full throttle with the Detroit sound of the Stooges and MC5, and a raging slab of relentless hard rock. It also goes down good with a couple chilled down bottles of your favorite brew! - The Atomic Chaser, THE DRP/All Access Magazine
