 DIRTY
WATER- Dirty Water (Street
Anthem Records) I don’t really like this EP, but credit should be
given where credit’s due. The street punk-rock played by Dirty Water is
mature and far more experienced-sounding than a lot of contemporary street
punk, and just because it does not appeal me does not mean that it’s
necessarily bad. This self-titled EP, which contains seven fairly short
songs, is to the point and doesn’t try anything fancy, but instead
maintains a basic guitar and vocals blend that works. The sound is not
overwhelmingly original or innovative, nor does it really stand out all
that much from most other bands making similar music. What the EP does
present is basic street rock that is both listenable and solid. Standout
songs include “Doing Time” and “Dead Dreams.” This music is pretty
underground and it is doubtful that this band will ever be mainstream, but
as far as mature-sounding rock goes, they’ve got what counts. I may find
it boring, but it’s still worth a listen. –Emily Zemler
