“Dirty Laws are declaring war on today’s rock!!”

“If you drink whiskey through your eyeballs, hate work and get off on lead guitar then this band is for you!”

“If there’s a future for any band, it’s this one; they’re not following, they’re leading.”

Dirty Laws are a 5-piece rock crew from Coventry/Birmingham. They were formed in mid 2006 and got straight down to writing some gritty rock tunes and riffs that should last the test of time. Their rock/blues/indie is influenced greatly by Led Zeppelin, Free, Ocean Colour Scene, Hendrix, Oasis and many others; giving them an old rock vibe mixed with a modern twist.

With Mike on vox/harmonica slotting in the blues feel; H’s lead guitar certainly knows how to get your heart racing; mixing lots of different sounds to get many people playing air, guitar wondering how he’s so quick. Fusing sounds together with second guitarist, Neil. He has a knack too and he’s well paired with H. Craig switched from guitar to bass and is getting his teeth into it by the day and Matt (on the drums) is the thunder of the band. Playing with extra heavy aluminium sticks, which is why, we suspect, he’s the loudest drummer in the Midlands. This band know what they want, know what they feel and wear this in their music; Dirty Laws want to be heard in all corners.

Glastonbuget 2008 was the biggest crowd this band has performed to; they have written some new tunes just for this crowd. The debut of “Green Room’s” punchy riff will be heard on the day and will no doubt get the crowd bopping away. At present Dirty Laws are gigging in and around Birmingham at music venues and enjoying every minute of it, and becoming a tighter band with a controlled sound along the way.

Surface Unsigned 2008 Review

A band that deserve special mention for the fantastic usage of a harmonica during their set, Dirty Laws brought with them a great mix of blues clashed with classic British rock. The band, originally from Coventry, have been together for a year and a half and having cited the legendary Led Zep as a key influence this has clearly influenced singer Mike in his delivery of material. The strength of this band lies primarily in the strength of Mike's distinctive vocals, twinned with the two lead guitars. Dirty Laws offer ear friendly Brit-rock, their material is polished and of a high quality and is likely to appeal to the mainstream. They are enjoyable to both watch and hear – ones to watch (and listen) out for! – Surface Unsigned 2008
