DASH RIP ROCK
A Song In Everyone
DIAL BACK SOUND
8/10
With help from a Drive-By Trucker, the unkillable Louisiana trio rip through their 15th album
Fronted by singer-guitarist-raconteur Bill Davis, Dash Rip Rock have been mashing together country and punk longer than people have been calling things “alt-country”. On their new album, produced by Truckers bassist Bobby Matt Patton, they pare their sound down to its basics: crunchy guitars, lewd basslines, stomping drums and defiant humour masking world-weary generosity. “Pain Pills Never Expire” skewers big pharma and bigger religion, the trio pillage through “Mean Mr Mustard” like The Beatles at some country-road honky tonk, and “Shakin’ Out The Days” sits alongside their finest songs. A Song In Everyone perfectly captures the raucous energy of their legendary live shows.

ABOUT DASH RIP ROCK

If you know, you know. Dash Rip Rock shows are a cut-loose good time — a high-octane collision of irreverence, distortion, and raw guitar-driven grit. This legendary Louisiana Music Hall of Fame trio and longtime indie stalwart fuse roots rock, garage rock, country-punk, and Southern swagger to earn praise from The New York Times for their “fluency in American roots music with a robust dose of punk-rock spirit” and from SPIN as “undeniably the South’s greatest rock band.” With 17+ underground classic albums, a loyal cross-genre fan base spanning rock, Americana, and punk, and a 1990s radio hit with their tongue-in-cheek anthem “Let’s Go Smoke Some Pot,” Dash Rip Rock continues to deliver electrifying live shows. Founder, lead guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Bill Davis is often credited as a pioneer of country punk, cowpunk, and alt-country—genres that merge rock, outlaw country, and punk attitude. In interviews, Davis describes his music as deeply roots-based; The Austin Chronicle hails him as “the brains behind Dash’s brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick.” 

Dash Rip Rock is Bill Davis, Wade Hymel and Izzy Grisoli.
