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)
