Dirty Mitts – Women

Dirty Mitts are a multinational band hailing from the UK, Poland and Egypt and were brought together in 2018 by a love of loud, old school Rock’n’roll, and Women is their latest single, released on 08/09/2023.

A broad appreciation for women, the track has intermingled modern day sensibilities into their music to not only make an awesome, classic sound but also one that really sends out a modern, up to date message.

The music side of things in this track is very nostalgic, taking the listener on a journey back to classic rock times, while also maintaining a very fresh and contemporary feel. The guitars are heavy, the riffs thrown out by the guitarist come thick and fast and the solos are perfectly executed. There is a bluesy groove throughout the track that really hooks the listener in, and the high energy of the song keeps them there.

The vocals are classic rock in style, strong, powerful but with an added grittiness that really makes them stand out. This guy has a fantastic voice and can hit all the notes, from the low to the high, and the track really highlights the band’s talent and passion for the music they play.

If you only check out one band today, please make it be Dirty Mitts, you really will not be disappointed! Looking forward to the release of the Hands Off EP in November of this year, so keep your ears peeled for that too!!

Movment – I Believe In Noise

Movment are a post-punk alternative indie rock band from Mulinger in Ireland, featuring four musicians, Martin Kelly (vocals, drums, words), Kevin Kelly (guitars, bass, keyboards, synths, programming, words), Mark Kelly (bass guitar) and Isabella Rowden Kelly (guitar) and I Believe In Noise is their latest singles, released on 15/09/2023.

Combining elements from all the genres listed above, this band have really created a sound that is all their own.

The music side of things is heavy, riffs thrown at the listener from all angles, and the drumming and meaty basslines really hold the song together. Although the rock foundations are essentially what this track is built on, there is also an electronic synth quality that really adds to the track, giving it depth and dimension.

The vocals are quite quirky, but this adds to the charm of the song. Once again, having previously reviewed music by Movment, there is angsty vibe to the song, not only with the vocals and lyrics, but also with the distortion on the guitar work which gives the song an angry and aggressive feel.

This is another great track from these guys from Ireland, one that is about the effect of sound, music and noise has on our moods, and one that I urge you all to check out!

Great stuff!
