Just today an nice article on DRL came out in Lansing

"Dirt Road Logic’s boisterous new sophomore record, aptly titled “The Rock’n’Roll EP,” shows the group’s progression from twangy cowboys to riff heavy, outlaw rockers. Whereas the band’s debut CD, “Great Lake Heartache” (2006) featured longer, bittersweet songs and lighter melodies, the new EP is a distorted, amped-up testament to American rock. " -Rich Tupica, Lansing City Pulse

DRL knows how to put on a great live show

and as for their music - it's pretty damned good.

Fri 6/26 -- Bull Halsey @ Lager House Detroit

Saturday, June 27
Bull Halsey CD Release

w/Dirt Road Logic, The Matt Bastardsons
10pm

Bull Halsey celebrates their first full length release tonight at PJ's Lager House!

The album is entitled "Hot Dry Work" and is coming out on Deluxe Records. Of Bull Halsey, Matt Mertha of The Red Butlers says: "One listen to Bull Halsey throws the rock-n-roll mind into reverse, to a time when young British kids like The Yardbirds, The Animals, and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers were teaching other Brits (and Americans) how much the Delta blues had an impact on rock music.

This isn't today's disposable garage-rock re-hash, this is a textbook from Music Appreciation, and class is in session." "Hot Dry Work" was recorded at the famous Tempermill Studios in Ferndale.

Dirt Road Logic is a locally based roots rock quartet playing out gritty and passionate tales of the Rust Belt. They arrive with their second release, "The Rock-N-Roll EP" in tow. The Music Revue says, "This is some good old straight-ahead, no B.S. rock 'n' roll. The vocals are a perfect fit, and the words don't get lost; nothing is overpowered. It's like listening to 'instant' classic rock."
