[WORD]".this is a band that demands your attention!" - The Dwarf



As a follow-up to their acclaimed 2009 debut release "Waiting On St George", popular Melbourne rock band Dirty York has delivered what many have already touted as a triumph in the face of adversity. It's hardly what you'd normally expect from an independent Australian band.
The new album entitled "Say Goodbye To Diamonds" is a record of cinematic proportions and sonic scope that reflects quality rock 'n' roll songcraft with an incredibly big heart.
"Say Goodbye To Diamonds" draws on diverse contemporary influences while remaining true to those old school southern rock and blues aesthetics that have withstood the test of time. This album has the lot - from foot to the floor fist pumping anthems to more soothing and heartfelt ballads; riff heavy guitars complimented by the excitement of a razor-shape horn section. "Say Goodbye To Diamonds" features intoxicating organ and thumping piano and memorably soulful lead and backing singing from start to finish.
The songs themselves move at a free flowing pace, perfectly allowing the imagery of each piece to connect to the listener.
Dirty York is a band that pride themselves on their dedication to creating, performing and producing timeless compositions with the honesty that good rock 'n' roll desperately requires. With an even spread of talent within, Dirty York have developed a work ethic that is widely regarded as relentless, oozing with that authentic blue collar Australian grit.
In an age when the global music industry and the music buying public are on their collective knees, and audiences are almost forced to cheapen their taste due to a quantity not quality ethos, "Say Goodbye To Diamonds" is an injection of hard earned reality. There's nothing whimsical about it. There are no tits and ass or air-brushing to be seen and absolutely not one bit of filler.
This is a seriously special record by a band at their peak. This is world class rock 'n' roll at it's best. This is Dirty York's band new album "Say Goodbye To Diamonds".
Music was meant to be this good!
