Munster Records is proud to present this exclusive 7” SINGLE from Detroit City's Almigthy THE DIRTBOMBS: Two brand new, exclusive songs available only on vinyl and in a limited edition.

This is the first Dirtbombs recording in more than a year! On the A-Side we find a cover of late Elliot Smith's “Brand New Game”. On the B-Side we have a Dirtbombs original, composed by Mick Collins.

Mick put The Dirtbombs together in 1992 as a side project, after the breakup of THE GORIES. After many, many delays (including the now-legendary lineup changes, and a 14-month stretch Mick spent in a completely different band), the Dirtbombs started recording in 1995 and touring about a year after that. With their unconventional lineup and unique melding of genres, the Dirtbombs create a sound that is all their own. As a fansite says, “The structure of two bassists and two drummers gives the band a heavy rhythm-bass sound that drives the music forward and inspires the dance in even the stiffest of blokes. This structure isn't going to become the new standard for rock bands - it definately wouldn't work for everyone, but it's perfect for the Dirtbombs' sound. Drawing on Detroit's rich musical history, the Dirtbombs are a hybrid of influences including soul, blues, Motown and garage/punk. The listener hears Stevie Wonder one second and the MC5 the next.”

Collins has been a big figure in the Detroit scene since the early 80's. Founding member of the GORIES and producer of hundreds of bands from Andre Williams to Atom Rhumba, he's been a main contributor to the current hype that has put Detroit back again in the map of “cool rock ‘n' roll”. His minimalist and bluesy approach to garage rock with his former band The Gories has influenced countless bands - most notably the White Stripes.

The best way to define The Dirtbombs may be the one found in their own website, www.thedirtbombs.net: “How do you describe your music?” ”We don't. Rock 'n Roll is Rock 'n Roll.”
