    This is a debut that delivers!!! & when these Australians with attitude say "no bullshit" - there's no filler either. No frills, dirty & driven that will stir your soul - and kick your ass the way rock n roll should be. Rarely does a debut album have such a seasoned sound; 11 tracks captured with minimal fuss, the vibe that spills from the speakers is as dirty and raw as it is pure; combining catchy hooks and stomping vibes, that only sounds better and the more you listen to it. This is real, this is rock n roll, this is The Dirge! Come get some!!!

P.C.P. Oh man… I can’t find nothin’ Where’s the hells my life gone? Seems to me it’s gone to hell in a handcart man And where’s all my cigarettes?

That’s the sound of my heart breaking When it falls on the floor seems so easy to pick up all the pieces It’s not as easy as it seems, nothing’s as easy as it seems no more… I’ve been blindsided by the downside of love There’s a cigarette burn in the mattress where you used to be On the cold side of the bed, and my pillow don’t fit my head No more, no more And I’m so, I’m so fucking lonesome I could die Yeah well I’m so , I’m so fucking lonesome I could die My heart all breaking, my bodies aching from the cold break that you left in oh that you left in me On the downside of up oh and I and I don’t think no and I don’t think I, I’m ever gonna breath oh no let alone sleep And I’m so, I’m so fucking lonesome I could die Yeah well I’m so, I’m so fucking lonesome I could die These empty nights I’m fillin up with cheap wine Cigarettes and booze yeah oh mentholated tunes These empty nights I’m fillin up with cheap wine Cigarettes and booze yeah oh mentholated tunes Come the morning, oh just a bad taste of you

about

The Dirge Perth, Australia

No frills, no fronts, no bullshit souped up rock n roll. If Motorhead met Eddy Current Suppression Ring and old school Kings of Leon in an old school Aussie pub...on a 3 day bender...it'd be somewhere near the sound of Australia's The Dirge. All that matters is what kicks your ass & stirs your soul as it spills from the speakers. For your dirty attitude & your dirtier life, this is Rock & Roll !!! ... more
