FOR FANS OF: Aerosmith, Joyous Wolf, Greta Van Fleet
On April 23, Dirty Honey released their very anticipated self-titled debut album. After spending two years binge listening to their self-titled EP again and again, this album is something that I waited with bated breath. Finally, the album dropped. So what’s the verdict on the album compared to the EP?
Well, I can certainly say that this album is one of those albums where each song gets better and better. This album feels like an unreleased Aerosmith album, and I can really hear the Aerosmith influence on the album’s second track, "The Wire." Marc LaBelle brings in a fiery set of vocals in each track and it seems like it only gets stronger and stronger as the album progresses. If he were a musician in the 70’s, I can say that he would be this ultimate rock ‘n roll king, although that title would also suit him for the 2020’s.
This album also shows off how much of a guitar god John Notto is. Each riff, each guitar solo, it’s chef’s kiss to the max. It’s safe to say that he could be noted as a guitar hero in the future. I mean, have you seen him using an IPA beer bottle on the guitar? What a legend.
One song in particular that really stood out to me was "No Warning." The song itself made me think I was listening to "When I’m Gone" at first, but overall, that track could be a crowd favorite whenever they do sing it at a future show one day. Maybe they’ll sing it at one of their shows in their upcoming tour.
Dirty Honey brought in a fantastic rock ‘n roll flavor to this album. If you think rock is dead, then you need to take a listen to this album. Dirty Honey keeps proving that rock is very much alive and is not dead. They’re the future of rock ‘n roll.
Dirty Honey will be on tour this summer with first Joyous Wolf, and then later on, supporting The Black Crowes. You can find tickets on their website here.
