A disheveled teen with black straightened hair covering half of his face slinks into the examination room and takes a seat on a bench covered by a sheet of paper. A well trained medical professional begins to question him.
“Son, what is ailing you?”
“No matter where I go, all I want to do is scream and windmill my arms.”
“Hmm, we’ve seen a lot of this lately. I recommend a hefty dosage of the SKA. A good place to start is this new local band called The Dirty 30’s. They play 3rd wave ska mixed with skate punk and reggae, and in a year and a half have recorded two EPs, played around Ontario, and have shared the stage with some of their idols.”
“I don’t know Doc, will this satisfy my urge to dance?”
“Why of course, you will become dependant on a dance known as the “SKANK,” a rhythmic dance, characterized by bending forward, raising the knees, and extending the hands.”
“Wow Doc, that sounds swell! Will this cure me?”
“Sure will, kid. The Dirty 30’s have a high energy punk/ska show, full of catchy music and silly jokes. After you go to a Dirty 30’s show, you’ll be the rudest of them all!”
What people are saying about The Dirty 30's:
"A supercharged One Louder EP... an abundance of collective, exuberant shouts and calls to arms against such party-poopers as the
warmongering Fat American" - Al Wigney, Sun Media
"The Dirty 30's are going to bring you their mix of dance-able and groovy ska mixed with aggressive in your face punkrock! " -

"With a pure ska sound, the sax & trombones got people moving in a huge skank pit that would run you over if you weren't moving quickly enough!" - Lindsay Hughes of Sore Loser Records
" [One Louder] is a true example of pure dedication and hard work... For 8 bucks you'd be nuts not to include it in your collection." - Denis
Leblanc, SpeakFreeMagazine.com
"...Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwich, it has to be seen to be believed." Phil Gaudreau, Pius Xtra, March 2007 Issue
"...From the opening chords of Waiting - that hit you like a wave crashing the beach, to the slow dance of the Last Song of the Day this EP
has it all. Check out the fantastic anti-war, anti globalisation lyrics of Fat American. A good Listen all around." - iTunes Review
"Sounds like Strike Anywhere meets The Specials. Got a hardcore feel, but the horns are just fun" - 'Mad Max' Cossette of Sick Sick Sicks
"Don't quote me on this, but they remind me of Big Audio Dynamite" - Rem's math teacher
