Dipsomaniacs

"Longtime power pop favorites, the Dipsomaniacs have released their 6th album, and like your favorite comfort food, it'll bring you warm feelings inside." - Powerpopaholic.com 2/2009

"So you could say that Social Crutch perfectly follows the Dipsomaniacs’ formula, in that the album serves up impeccable pop songcraft with top-notch musicianship, viral melodies, and a wicked sense of humor. In fact, they can keep repeating themselves until hell freezes over as far as I’m concerned." – Jim Testa, Jersey Beat Zine 2/2009

"While we weren't paying attention.the guys in Dipsomaniacs have obviously transformed themselves into a heavy duty in-your-face hard pop band of the highest caliber. We've liked what we heard from this band in the past, but it didn't prepare us for the powerful punch of the tunes on Social Crutch. This is one totally killer power pop album. melodies that are so instantly catchy that you'll get that same heady feeling you get when listening to The Young Fresh Fellows and Fountains of Wayne. After hearing this, we can honestly say that guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Mick Chorba ranks right up there with some of the coolest pop songwriters of the past few decades. His songs are vibrant and full of life.and they possess a wonderful uplifting quality that is gripping and inspiring. We are in love with this album.can you tell.? To tell you the truth, after hearing this one you probably will be as well. Superb tunes include "Together We Can Rule The World" (a perfect pure pop anthem), "Blame It On The Gin," "Kids On Base," and "Halo Around You." Recommended.

The Dipsomaniacs are from NJ and play melodic, hook-driven, sloppy, but spirited rock n roll. The Replacements have always been a decent reference point for the band's sound - power-pop with a heavy influence of 60s garage rock and the simplicity and directness of punk. The Dipsos love the Who and that shows too. They've been around since the mid 90s and have released 5 CDs and appeared on countless compilations while playing shows all over the country.



The band's songs have been featured on the MTV show's "Made" and "Sweet 16". Most recently the Dipsomaniacs contributed two songs to the FDR Label "About a Girl" CD. In 2005 The Dipsos won the Philadelphia LIttle Steven Underground Garage contest and opened for Rocket from the Crypt at Irving Plaza in NYC. The band also played to over 15,000 opening for Pat Benatar at a July 4th outdoor concert



The Dipsomaniacs 6th CD, Social Crutch, is being released in February of 2009. New song titles include: "Blame it on the Gin", "Together We Can Rule the World", and "Loretta After All".
