Born the summer of ‘04, the Dirty Works are a 3 piece Southern Punk/Dirty Rock n Roll band out to take over the Goddamn World.
Frogwater Injection, the Band’s first E.P. came out in the fall of their first year and even though it was never officially released the band managed to sell over 400 copies of the CD.
Taking the show on the road almost immediately the Dirty Works made friends and fans all over the South and South East managing to create a Buzz around themselves.
At an especially chaotic show in a small town in TN the Dirty Works caught the eyes and ears of Atlanta Film Makers Worldstorm (Arts Lab) Productions. Long story made short, after following The Band to hell and back for over 2 years Worldstorm has a finished documentary on The Dirty Works titled Rebel Scum The Movie.
The bands first full length C.D. Biscuits and Liquor was independently released in the spring of 2006. Independent by choice as the guys stepped away from several Indie labels because of artistic differences. The Album, still selling has sold over 800 copies to date. Their next release is expected summer/fall of ‘08.
Rebel Scum The Movie is also expected for release in late ‘08 early ‘09
The Dirty Works, Piled in their totally rebuilt Ford Econoline aptly titled the Biscuit as it’s tan with Brown trim are hitting the Rd. again this march and will hopefully rumble into your city soon. If so, get out and see them, they’re definitely an act to catch!

"At The Stroke of Madness" is an Edmonton Alberta Canada based band, that was formed in the winter of 2003 as an acoustic duo. while looking for the right supporting members Steve(bass/vocals) & Scot(guitars/vocals) dedicated themselves to writing music and playing open stages around the Edmonton area. It took a year or so until they found a drummer with the right stuff and started playing shows. Soon however they soon found out that there drummer was not really that dedicated and completley uncomitted, which was to bad because she was a great drummer. In the end they parted ways but the momentum never really stopped. within a few weeks they where once again a 3 peice and out doing shows again. In the early fall of 2006 At The Stroke of Madness recorded there debut EP at SOUND EXTRACTORS STUDIO's in edmonton and with the help of the one and only Stew Kirkwood(producer) and the amazing chris(uncle skip)(mastering/drummer). This debut EP is what you would call a true throw back to the time when Rock'n'Roll was simple and straight forward. At The Stroke of Madness keeps a no nonsense approach to there music and does not believe there music needs blazing lead guitars and fancy finger picking. They believe in letting there Music do the talking, and what you see is what you get. You will not find mind numbing sensless lead or the constant clinking of keyboards.You will find driving rythym guitars, pounding drum beats, & grooving rolling bass lines that will have you tapping your feet and screaming for more. This is a band on the rise and you should make sure you take the oppotunity to see them live. Because they like to put the Rock in Rock 'n' Roll. To contact At The Stroke of Madness e-mail us at:

Brought here to Earth before the dawn of time itself, Messrs. are the global architects of musical vibrations as we know it. Let history commence on the winds of consciousness as they spread the spores of deception across the barren plains of a land once known as 'Rock n Roll'...and a place Messrs. call home

What do you say about a band that says, straight-faced, that it's two principal influences are the Beatles and the Sex Pistols?

Try: "It's about fucking time"?

Let's face it - the Pistols, for all their yobbo nihilism, were a brilliant pop band and Never Mind the Bollocks is less an album than a hit singles collection. The Fabs, as dear dead George called them, were not only the last century's most respected, creative and successful songsmiths, they were god-damned ferocious, paint-peeling noise merchants when the mood struck them; don't believe me? The rehearsal versions of Helter Skelter make the Velvet's Sister Ray sound positively tame.

So the Philharmonic are not only canny enough to recognize these little-uttered facts but adept enough to carry off the not-inconsiderable trick of marrying legit musical chops and frankly brilliant songwriting to savage musicianship and pure-punk stage delivery. Everything the pop-punk hybrid from XTC and the Pixies on down to the least of what the genre aspires to, the Philharmonic are, and more than that, somewhat frighteningly, still well short of their potential.

If these people had been around back in '77 for the first wave of punk the Eagles and their wretched brethren would have been sent packing for good and the world would today be a better place for all of us.

About fucking time? Damn straight, and better now than never.
