The Dirty Earth Ascendancy

The Dirty Earth Release ‘Ascendancy’ on Foghorn/MGM

A strong followup to their well received album of 2014 – ‘Autonomic’ Ascendancy promises to widen the bands appeal with a more modern twist on their retro alternative sound.

Comparisons have already been made to Jack White’s The Dead Weather

There is nothing so fine as a righteous blast of rock and roll energy, a white-hot mainline that shakes your body into action. 

The Dirty Earth don’t just write songs, they weave tales about the brutal realities of life and songs like Red Witch, Cruel World, Free Bird and Eternity marry clever lyrics with stellar music that takes you on an evocative journey. Bed of Nails is the album’s rock anthem with the  final track, So Long Sucker, providing a rare glimpse into the band’s take on punk rock.

The Dirty Earth have taken a step forward with ‘Ascendancy’, showcasing their unique brand of rock’n’roll and strong musicianship. Cohesive production ensures the listener of a 45-minute sonic journey.

The Album is released February 26 through MGM on CD and Digital

Quotes

The Dirty Earth are heavy, psychedelic and above all unpindownable,
the necessary ingrdients that may make them the new lords of doom rock

Cameron Cooper – The Music

A band that live to rock and serve it with no reservations’
‘The vocal muscle of Mandy shows plenty of punch and the band rock the groove well’

Rodney Christian, SF Media

“The Dirty Earth have absorbed a lot of Thin Lizzy, AC/DC and BellRays and applied their riffs to their own canvas.”
“Mandy Newton’s powerful vocals are a strong differentiator and many will use the Baby Animals as a reference point.”

The Dirty Earth has toughened up their sound a little more with the new guitarists in the group, and Mandy Newton putting in a powerful performance out front.”
