Sometimes I’m led to a band because of the band name, something about the name Them Dirtbags made me want to give them a listen. Reminded me of The Cramps and that’s about enough to get me started. There are quite a few of us here at 50thirdand3rd that like it primitive and raw. So here comes some cool garage punk for all you fans of GaragePunk Hideout.
