"Gainesville's latest sons kick the fuck out of some instruments to make some gloriously honest rock n roll!" -PunkBands.com

"Now here's a pleasant surprise. When it seemed that every new punk outfit around came locked in to the pop sound, Dirty Money's debut cut, "Far From Home" takes aim at the genre's bread and butter: the show-going crowd." -Gainesville Sun

"I've been told that straight, dirty, old-school punk is dead. Hey, I've even said it. Dirty Money's Far from Home EP is a breath of fresh air for a genre that seemed to be on its last cigarette-smoke-infused breath." -Independent Clauses

 

Dirty Money Far From Home Review by Diatribe:

It’s just not fair. The population of Gainesville is 243,985(MSA) while the population for Columbus, OH (where I reside) is 1,754,337, yet somehow they have a metric shit-ton more cool bands than we do. I don’t know what’s going on here, but I can’t help to think it’s something underhanded. As punishment to Gainesville, I think Dirty Money should have to relocate to the Ohio capital.

Dirty Money plays straight forward, honest tunes that just about anyone can enjoy, especially if you like gruff, melodic punk rock, and if you don’t…I don’t even know why you’re looking at this site. But, if you do, then Far From Home is probably in your record collection already. If not, it soon will be.

“1-2-3 Fest!” gets the party started with an upbeat pace and raspy vocals, which sets off the ‘feel good…fun times’ attitude that is displayed throughout Far From Home. The band takes it down a notch for “Ride Easy” a little smattering of Americana, not unlike the stylings of fellow Gainesville residents and folk luminaries Against Me, before hammering out the rest of the album.

Far From Home is a great introduction for Dirty Money and I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from these guys. Hopefully somebody will send me their upcoming split with GDP. Anybody? Anybody? - CS
