Dirty Rugs - Were All Dying I Feel Alive

Review by Tim Elhajj

Dirty Rugs' latest album, "We're All Dying I Feel Alive," is a gritty and intense release that showcases the band's raw energy and passionate songwriting. From the opening track, "Dead End Street," to the closing ballad, "Lost and Found," the album takes listeners on a journey through the ups and downs of life, with a focus on the struggles and triumphs of the human experience.

The band's sound is a unique blend of punk, rock, and blues, with a touch of country and folk thrown in for good measure. The songs are full of catchy hooks and memorable melodies, but also have a depth and complexity that rewards repeated listens.

Lead singer and songwriter, Jack Wilson, delivers his lyrics with a raw and emotional intensity that is both powerful and vulnerable. His voice is raspy and rough around the edges, but also has a soulful quality that adds depth and dimension to the songs.

The rest of the band, including guitarist Max Johnson, bassist Sarah Lee, and drummer Tim Smith, provide a solid foundation for Wilson's vocals, with tight and driving rhythms that keep the energy level high throughout the album.
