"Somebody Here’s Going Crazy is the long-awaited debut album from Birmingham’s The Dirty Lungs. Chock-full of wiggling delights and mind-expanding shreds recalling psyche greats like The Blue Cheer and Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Dirty Lungs wrap it up with a hip-shaking swagger clearly rooted in The Dirty South.

What sets The Dirty Lungs apart from the other psychedelia is their sense of soul, and Crazy has plenty of rhythm and blooze. “Tired Of This Company,” “Runnin’,” and the track “Sit Tight” best exemplify The Dirty Lungs’ rowdy, acid-drenched boogie while brooding numbers like “1000 Suns” and “Tiger and Its Prey” ably maintain malice and groove. “Sit Tight,” a strangely cathartic ode to white-knuckled restlessness, manages to blend Galaxie 500 and Black Sabbath— no small feat.

And there we find the The Dirty Lungs greatest strength: Reassembling the history of psychedelic rock while sidestepping both pastiche and artifice in order to make way for a great time. Think of them as revisionist cartographers, charting the most pleasurable routes between rock-and-roll delights. That sense of economy is pervasive throughout Somebody Here’s Going Crazy, affecting everything from the lean running time, its colorful use of recording studio razzle dazzle, and the cover art: Crazy is packaged as a blank canvas that literally comes sealed with a miniature pack of crayons. Aspiring designers can color to their heart’s content or embrace its Duchampian glory. Either way, you win."

-Jim Fahy, Thicket Magazine

"its like the leader of the pack did it with Chrissie Hynde and their love child had bipolar tendencies."

-Eventful.com

...Next up was bham.fm favorites Dirty Lungs. They were just as good as our first show at Speakeasy. You’ll notice in the gallery I kept taking pics of their tamborine/knob twittling madman. He thrashed around like a dying fish so I was just happy to get some shots that weren’t blurry. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. I love the Dirty Lungs. If Whitney assigned me book shows, I’d have them play every one just so I can selfishly see them live. Attn Dirty Lungs: we require your album for review. Now. Hey guess what? I’ll probably like it a lot.

-bham.fm

"...The Dirty Lungs, another band that proves Birmingham can rock in the old school authentic kind of way, and not just in the new-fangled, focus grouped to death style."

-r3vrb.com

The locals of The Dirty Lungs are a lot less self-aware as they mangle their attempts at Anglo-pop with acid-crazed boogie. The results are intentional. They sound like idiot kids stumbling onto greatness.

   About The Dirty Lungs
We found a time machine and traveled back to the year 1965. There we saw The Kinks play a hell of a set at the Royal Albert; too bad when we met their drunk asses after the show, they told us to “Bugger off, you bloody wankers.” We decided to avenge this wrong doing by traveling back to the future (or present as it may be) and starting our own band.
