Dirty Penny is an indie rock band with a twist. Their sound has solid roots in the guitar heavy side of the 80s (Love and Rockets, U2, The Clash) but they are lead by an unpredictable front man/storyteller armed with a bag different voices, some light and absurd, others dark and shocking. Dirty Penny is anything but boring and is not for the casual seeker of a rock experience.
Their debut full-length release TaDa! (2007) received critical acclaim by NOW Magazine, Pete Nema, and Earshot. Their new release “Sage Against the Machine†is better. It’s pure indie rock but there’s nothing indie about the sound quality of this record. Recorded at Foxcliffe and mastered at Lacquer Channel, you could put this record next to The Fall or The Talking Heads and not even blink, but with song titles like “Maximum Sherpa†and “Lady Nurse None†you will blink.
