EP Review: XXX ~ DIRTY ORANGE

Dirty Orange are a swaggering rock n' roll three piece from London made up of George Wilkins, Scott Thompson and Connor O'Shea. Describing their sound as 'raw rock with plenty of energy, vitality and meaningful lyrics,', the band have been together for almost two years now and already have a number of impressive live appearances and studio recordings under their belt.

New four track EP 'XXX' resonates an immersive aura of raw and emphatic opulence from start to finish. Opening number 'Time and Again', with its' extravagant and vehement sense of urgency, is my personal favourite. The track is defined by ardent vocals, delivered with style and spirit throughout.

'Dancing with the Gypsy' is laced with attitude and stellar instrumentation; it's gripping, fierce and delightfully irascible. So too is the melodiously arresting 'I Don't Mind'; suspenseful, absorbing and fierce from the start, this track is defined by thunderous drum beats and gravelly vocals. Rock n' roll at it's finest.

Bringing proceedings to an explosive and unequivocal cessation is the sharp and fiery 'Council Estate'. Jaunty riffage atop a once again vociferous vocal styling ensure that the EP most definitely goes out with one hell of a bang.

With an art for rich and immersive songcraft, Dirty Orange are most certainly the festival headliners of tomorrow; theirs is the kind of music you can imagine reverberating through huge crowds. Their highly charged musical swagger will undoubtedly lead them to success in the very near future.
