Fresh off the Knoxville premiere of the documentary Rebel Scum, which tracked two years in the life of the band, Knoxville gutter punks the Dirty Works are celebrating the release of their new EP, Get Wrecked. The band's having a CD release show at the Longbranch Saloon on Thursday, Feb. 11, at 9 p.m.
I reviewed the new disc last week: "scuzzy, three-chord rock, rudimentary guitar solos, [and] frontman Chris Scum's fascination with blood and other body fluids. (The album starts with the couplet, "I woke up on the street/puking on my feet.") The Dirty Works' vision of what rock 'n' roll is and means is a limited one, but there's no denying their commitment to it."
