Dash Rip Rock is the legendary New Orleans trio known for high-octane
roots rock. The New York Times says Dash Rip Rock combines “fluency
in American roots music with a robust dose of punk-rock spirit.” SPIN
praises Dash Rip Rock as “undeniably the South’s greatest rock band.”
In 2012 Dash Rip Rock was honored to be inducted into the Louisiana
Music Hall of Fame.
Dash Rip Rock has long been celebrated for tight musicianship, high
energy live shows, and songs of raw insolence and longing that are
sometimes cut with whimsy. Bill Davis, Dash Rip Rock’s founder and
frontman, is a songwriter known for his blistering guitar work. For
over 20 years the band has amassed a loyal, diverse following. The
wide tent of their cross-genre fan base includes aficionados of rock,
roots-rock and Americana as well as rockabilly, country, and punk
fans. DRR has released 17 records that have been hailed as
underground classics.
"Davis is the brains behind Dash’s brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick.”
AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"Skillful musicians with a penchant for getting reliably wild…."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"What lifts Dash Rip Rock's album a head above most southern rock is Davis's ability to write songs that do more that sell beer on a Saturday night."
WASHINGTON POST
"Undeniably the South's greatest rock band."
SPIN
"Great American rock n' roll record. Davis's songs reveal a different side of Louisiana, not the common images of New Orleans' cultural gumbo. Davis's territory is the dirty industrial towns elsewhere in the state, where oil and gas companies dominate all aspects of life."
Jason Schneider - Exclaim Canada
““Their roots sound’s supercharged with energy and an overdose of irreverence, delivered with crunchy bar band swagger.”
