Grab a thirty rack of Pabst, a liter of cheap whisky, and call up the boys because “New York City's favorite hard-workin' rock n' roll band” Dirty Fences is back on the road in the USA and ready to party down in town! 

The band is doing a thirty-two city long haul tour in support of "Goodbye Love" via NYC’s own Greenway Records, the band’s third studio album and comes as a follow-up to 2013's Too High To Kross (Volcom) and 2015's  epic Full Tramp (Slovenly). The album is available on limited-edition splatter vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally.

Dirty Fences is a quintessential New York band: the kind the city is known for producing; the band you’d want to hear blasting out the PA at some dive bar that is beyond capacity before they even take stage. They often refer to themselves as a gang, and that mentality is evident in every meaty riff and perfectly-executed harmony on Goodbye Love. It’s a perfect slice of wax that evokes early American rock and punk acts such as Redd Kross, The MC5, and Johnny Thunders — whilst showing an obsession with early KISS and Motley Crüe through the lens of The Dictators and Ramones —yet the band still manages to maintain an identity all its own this new record.

"WITH ITS SWAGGERING RHYTHM AND GUITARS THAT GO FROM CRUNCH TO TWINKLE, THERE’S A VINTAGE VIBE TO THE DISSOLVING ROMANCE OF THE LYRICS." -- CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

THIS IS THE KNACK COVERING THE REAL KIDS IN 1977 CBGBs FOR THE NEXT GENERATION -- LOUDER THAN WAR

"IT’S FULL OF EAGER EXUBERANCE AND EXHILARATION THAT MAKES YOU LONG FOR THE THRILL OF TEENAGEDOM - ANXIETIES AND ALL." -- THE 405

You can still order Dirty Fences first EP from Dirty Water Records here

The Dirty Water Club started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston. The club's name is derived from The Standells' 1966 hit 'Dirty Water' which glorifies the US city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Past performers have included The White Stripes (voted by Q Magazine as one of the top 10 gigs of all time, Mojo one of the top 30 and Kerrang one of the top 100!), The Gories, Country Teasers, Black Lips, NOBUNNY, Kid Congo Powers, The Fleshtones, Billy Childish, Radio Birdman, The Dirtbombs, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, The 5.6.7.8's, The Horrors and The Brian Jonestown Massacre to name just a few. The club has also seen some original '60s performers, such as The Monks, ? and the Mysterians, Kim Fowley, Sky Saxon, GONN, Michael Davis of the MC5 and more grace its stage.

Their in-house record label, Dirty Water Records, is one of the leading garage/beat/(real) R&B labels in the world.

Order 'Goodbye Love'   Dirty Fences  Greenway Records  

Dirty Fences' third studio album, Goodbye Love, came out October 27th via Greenway Records. Like their past releases, it's full of meaty riffs, sing-along choruses, and perfectly-executed harmonies and finds the band's high-energy, tongue-in-cheek vibe fully intact.

NYC's Dirty Fences are true road warriors, having covered every hectare of fruited plain in the USA and practically every kilometer on the European continent.

About Dirty Water Records

Dirty Water Records is a London-based record label (and club, the Dirty Water Club) specialising in contemporary bands playing original r&b, beat, '60s garage, trash and punk music.

New Song By @Radkey + Selected For @Mastercard x #GRAMMY Project w/ @SZA



Radkey arrive with electric new song, "Not Smart" premiering via Clash Music. Plus, they were selected for the Mastercard x GRAMMY project #StartSomethingPriceless with SZA.

"New single 'Not Smart' rages with unbridled fury, somewhere between Ramones bubblegum and Nirvana bite."  - Clash

STREAM NOW

Comic books, boredom, rock n roll., video games, misfits, Ramons, Weezer, the middle of America, the middle of Nowhere, Nirvana, pizza, Dad's record collection, skateboards, afropunk, more pizza, a quest to end false rock....

That, in a nutshell, is Radkey. The band has arrived with their sleek new track, "Not Smart," premiering via Clash Magazine. A song which, "rages with unbridled fury, somewhere between Ramones bubblegum and Nirvana bite."

It was also announced that Radkey have been selected by MasterCard for their massive Grammy promotion, #StartSomethingPriceless, which features Radkey as an artist to watch alongside Grammy nominated best new artist, SZA. The first video for the campaign premiered on the Ellen show recently.

With groundbreaking moments on the horizon, the band explained to Clash the personal message of “Not Smart: "It’s about what it’s like to give up everything to chase your dreams for so long that you don’t even realize that you’re not a kid anymore. Even though you don’t feel any different than you did when you first started the band.  It’s about waking up and accepting that you’re starting to feel the pain. That you’re not invincible..."

The Brothers Radke (the band name is a spin on their shared last name), comprised of 24 year-old guitarist and Danzig dead-ringer vocalist, Dee Radke, 22 year-old bassist Isaiah and 20 year-old drummer, Solomon, have honed their sound into the rare kind of power-riffing rock n’ roll phenomenon that literally explodes out of the speakers from the open moments of the track. Listen to it here!

About Radkey:

Like any great rock band, the gas in Radkey’s tank has been a will to rock on their terms. As pre-teens growing up in the Nowheresville of Saint Joseph, Missouri, they enrolled in rock n roll high school as their ticket out. With their music-obsessed dad-and-former Wal-Mart employee as road manager, the brothers played their first show opening for Fishbone in 2011 and haven’t looked back since. The family van thundered across the nation, chewing up tires and splatting insects on the windshield as Radkey gigged with the likes of Red Fang, Touche Amore and Against Me!.

In 2013, The Cat & Mouse and Devil Fruit EP’s took Radkey from sweaty backroom punk gigs to storming the UK’s Download Festival, and the US’ Riotfest. The backstory of three African-American brothers raised on their dad’s vinyl collection was only eclipsed by the band’s live show that left audiences breathless with a messy punk rock n roll riot of their own. 

By 2015, things were at critical mass for Radkey, having toured the US with Rise Against and having appeared at Coachella Enlisting Arctic Monkeys producer/mixer Ross Orton. Radkey went straight off the road into a studio, to record their debut record, Delicious Rock Noise. The result is an across-the-board detonation of several shades of rock, punk and wild abandon. And riffs, riffs, riffs. 

Now, as they kick off 2018 with new music, their sound has continued to expand and mature, reflected in the sleek guitar and growing bass of their new track, "Not Smart." It's a testament to the future of music and the band is primed for the rock and roll hall of fame.

-------------------------------------------------

About Rocky & The Wranglers:

When Barbara Carr received her Lifetime Achievement Award from the Blues Society,  Roy St. John accepted on her behalf. While Roy was playing pubs in England and recording for Virgin Records, Barbara was playing with the Oliver Sain Revue in St. Louis and recording for Chess Records in Chicago. Their paths crossed when Roy interviewed Barbara on his award-winning morning radio show and they hit it off musically – and soon became the best of friends, with Barbara joining Oliver Sain and Johnnie Johnson at Roy’s memorable Mardi Gras benefits. This year, Barbara will be honored by the National Blues Museum.

​Barbara Carr began singing with her sisters in St. Louis and eventually replaced Fontella Bass in Oliver Sain’s Revue, later building a solid and haunting backlog of soulful recordings from various labels before forming her own label and accepting annual tours of Europe. Barbara is currently recording a new album with Roy Roberts in South Carolina, where Barbara continues to entertain huge audiences at festivals. Roy St. John’s new album Rocky & the Wranglers – named for his St. Louis band – combines Blues, R&B, and Americana, garnering British reviews of enviable comparisons with Randy Newman and John Hiatt. He left England in the 80s and was soon hosting and producing a daily morning radio show in St. Louis, where he met Barbara. Recently, they agreed to extend their occasional duets to a full-scale program of individual songs and duets backed by Roy’s crack band of  seasoned musicians. Barbara Carr, Roy St. John, and Rocky & the Wranglers are a five-piece blues band.

-------------------------------------------

About the Joe Metzka Band:

Joe Metzka is not your average blues man. He moved to the sacred ground of St. Louis and assembled a world class band that delivers a full package of blues, soul, funk and jazz seamlessly. 

"The charismatic vocals, confident solos and killer grooves of this group will take you to the next level of appreciation for a live music experience you deserve." 

- John May, St. Louis Blues Society
