the dirty truckers second dose

​The Dirty Truckers (from the album Second Dose available on Rum Bar Records)
There are true believers in the world. Men and women who play the same chord that slapped them awake on first contact, each note sounding like it was meant to bounce off garage walls. The Dirty Truckers are the torchbearers as they hammer out the joy of that initial moment with drums, bass, and guitar turned up to 11 on their recent release, Second Dose. Part gang tag, part singalong chorus, The Dirty Truckers pound out an anthem to get them to the show shouting ‘no one fucks with us tonight’ from “Hotel Highway View”. The tracks of Second Dose clock in at roughly three minutes, each second featuring a melody that snarl, lyrics that shout right in your face as the spit flies. Second Dose presents “Little Mine” as its firsts shot, the opening cut on the album setting a standard with a delivery that will leave a mark, possibly even a scar.
The guitar scream is the first clue for “Feedback” when The Dirty Truckers yell above the band on stage to offer some advice while they fact check the girl in “Ragin’ Eyes”. Bringing back local band glory from Boston circa 1980, The Dirty Truckers hammer out “Help You Ann” from The Lyres. Second Dosecalms the rhythm to a slow burn across “Sixteen Blue”, the story and groove stretching out the track time to over five minutes. Proud of the pounding they give to the beat, The Dirty Truckers wear the crown of true believers, racing across Second Dose like they stole it, street-wise punks providing two-minute sound bites of personal opinion. Looking to heal a relationship, the boys hold out an olive branch with “Back to Back” as they poke, prod, and push just a little in “Arm’s Length” while The Dirty Truckers offer rock wisdom on “Not Missing a Thing” to warn of the coming dawn.
