Dirty Glass "Drunken Summer Night" WLRV Records
Release date: end September 2014
Running time: 19:39, 5 tracks
The end of June 2014 is the milestone of the development of the Indonesian Celtic punk scene. Although some bands like Gerap Gurita, The Working Class Symphony, The Cloves and The Tobacco or Charlie’s Rum and the Chaplin had previously released some works, the Indonesian scene really broke through after the compilation album “Wind from the Foreign Land” was issued by WLRV Records.
Three months later, another kick-ass band from Indonesia is delivering their first work under the WLRV Records umbrella. The band is called Dirty Glass and they had already released a couple of songs that became Internet hits straight away: “Just F Love Song” and “Joke”. Now they are offering a nice package consisting of a five tracks CD, a T-shirt, a patch and a sticker, which is titled “Drunken Summer Night”.
Jr Miko (lead vocals) , Ryan (vocals, mandolin), Ganang (accordion, fiddle), Emil (bass), Nathan (electric guitar), El Stek (acoustic guitar), Yasu Spade (tin whiste) and Rude (drums) have recorded a mini-album showcasing the different sides of Dirty Glass. The opening track, “Good Morning Eli” is definitely a lively Indonesian Celtic punk song. The next number, “Ballad of Lonely and Whiskey” is rougher, with an amazing theme and addictive chorus. One of my faves. “10.000 Miles” pays tribute to their heroes Dropkick Murphys. "Dirty Glass", the DKM song features both boy and girl vocals and “10.000 Miles” follows that example. It’s another catchy song with top-notch guitar work. One of the highlights of the album without any doubt. “Drunken Summer Night” moves to the Land of Oz. At least, the guitar work and the chorus have an Aussie twist. Finally, “Anthem” blends DKM and The Pogues influences with a Japanese Celtic punk vibe.
“Drunken Summer Night” is a well-balanced CD featuring awesome traditional instruments, but also fantastic electric guitar and rhythm section. Dirty Glass have done a hell of a job and no one can say that all the songs are the same. Quite the contrary, every single track belongs to a different universe and this makes the mini-album quite enjoyable.
Another band having a name lifted from a Dropkick Murphys song has become a must-listen band in the world Celtic punk scene: Bastards on Parade. Dirty Glass share with the Galician guys the same versatility and passion, so they’ll be joining Bastards on Parade in that Celtic Punk essential bands club soon. Stay tuned!
