BJTM embody the down and dirty rock and roll lifestyle, living in a filthy hovel of a band house, while the Dandy Warhols tour Europe and play huge festivals.
Formed by video director Andrews Jenkins (Korn, Dandy Warhols, Nike, Adidas, Budweiser, EA Games), Dirty Halo is a realization of inspired electro-pop.
Splattery-ass punk garage hewed from hard rock/acid garage rootage. Tunes get whirled around, riifs/leads dissolve into each other, and the songs stick.
The anthems don’t sound dumbed down, the goofy butt-wiggling punk doesn’t sound contrived, the tenderness isn’t forced, and the party-hearty yahoo isn’t ironic.
To exaggerate, it’s like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, or Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore. There’s a guy and girl singing, and they play opposite roles.
