Our Take

The Standells latest offering, "Dirty Water," is a cacophony of gritty rock'n'roll that captures the essence of the rebellious spirit of the 1960s. From the opening track, "Medication," with its pulsating drums and snarling vocals, to the anthemic title track "Dirty Water," this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

The Standells, known for their raw and unapologetic sound, lean heavily on garage rock influences throughout the album. Tracks like "He Did You Wrong" and "Why Pick on Me" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy, yet edgy tunes that stick in your head long after the music stops.

Lead singer Larry Tamblyn's powerful vocals shine on standout tracks like "St. James Infirmary" and "Rari," where his passionate delivery adds a layer of depth to the band's rebellious energy. The band's tight instrumentation and driving rhythms create a sense of urgency that propels the album forward at breakneck speed.

While "Dirty Water" may not reinvent the wheel, it certainly cements The Standells' status as garage rock legends. With its infectious energy and unapologetic attitude, this album is a must-listen for fans of raw, unfiltered rock'n'roll. So grab a pint of, you guessed it, dirty water, and crank up the volume on this raucous and rollicking ride. Cheers!
