Dirty Lowdowns

Dirty Lowdowns
[PUNK ROCK] The excessively tattooed, cowboy-hat-wearing, metallic-punk, downtown-redneck set has a band for every occasion, but the Rose City’s Dirty Lowdowns are a fierce and tight quartet fit for anytime. The band’s new album, PowerStripper, is a raw ruckus of careening destruction delivered with hefty guitar riffs and hook-laden choruses.

…….these guys just totally bring it. They've been playing together for years and it seems like they're finally hitting their stride. Their brand of dude-rock is infused with some country and blues riffs but ultimately remind me of slugging whiskey in a biker bar. They just released a CD which I haven't heard but they did play some of the songs from it and the new songs show a maturity in the musicianship and focus of the band. But don't worry! They're still the best band to get drunk and fall down to in Portland - PDX Rock-N-Roll

[COCK ROCK] If any band ranks as this town's king of cock rock, it's the Dirty Lowdowns. They've been at it for a while, and they deserve their due. So here it is. On D-Low's latest recordings, the band covers all of yesterday's popular hard-rock bases—fast, turgid, vaguely Swedish—while managing to show its sensitive side with lyrics like, "I don't want to violate you/ I just want to penetrate you." But before the band gets too deep (ouch), it returns to what it does best: peeling listeners' faces back with sheer power riffage. Now that's a sure way to get under some skin.
