About Dirty Rose **BATHGATE FRI 17TH + DUNDEE SAT 18TH**
Formed early 2007 in West Lothian, Alan and Chris Clarkson first started the band. The brothers then recruited the crazy tattooed rocker Taz on the drums. Dirty Rose are here to bring metal back to the good old days. Screaming guitar leads, crunchy riffs, pounding drums and controversal lyrics are what they live for
Since 2007 the band have been playing gigs all around Glasgow and Edinburgh and now in 2008 are playing throughout the UK
The band can be contacted through here on myspace or at CLARKSONE2@AOL.COM

Ric Rawlins - Planet Sound, Channel 4:
"For a three-piece, they have a huge, growling sound that's right out of a Hells Angels jukebox...there's no denying the raw power behind their greasy riffs." (18/02/2008)
Syndicate Thirteen:
“Saxon, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or even Metallica old school rock is back...Strong, solid tunes which are reflected in live performance as well as their self titled demo.” (07/02/08)
RoomThirteen.com:
"“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...overall this is a solid demo with some more than decent tunes” (23/05/08)
Officialmetalcastle.com:
"DIRTY ROSE kicks ass! great music! hell yes energy! great guitar work! awesome vocals!" (09/10/08)
UKMETALUNDERGROUND.COM:
"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...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." (01/06/09)

cheers for the add by the way. hope to catch you at the ark at the end of july. we just played there at the weekend and very very very hot on the stage. take a towel.............
'Sup guys, thanks for accepting the friend request!
I got your demo at Priest Feast when a copy of it was chucked into the pits. Got home, left it in a pile of free CDs I got from a few magazines, fell asleep and forgot about it for a long time. Haha!
BUT! I found it again last week, listened to it, and I really like it! It's very much Judas Priest and Megadeth influence plus a fuck load of original style locked together to make... Dirty Rose!
Again, thanks for the add. Dunno if our stuff is your style, doubt it very much so, but comment the videos and the old shit we've got on our player, which I swear we'll relace soon, if you feel like it.
This will be our first gig for over a MONTH... either we die on our arses or we rock so triumphantly you all look like newborn seals afterwards, either way you don't wanna be missing out!
Work!! I have the week off.Yippy. Time to catch up with my friends. Also to share in with you a little project that we been working on. Hope you had a great weekend. Stay safe.Your Ozzy Friend.TC Jacki.
Looking forward to catching you at the Ark in July. Should have the SLR with me so expect a few more photos and a video or two.... assuming I'm not pissed by the time you come on!
