If you know, you know. Dash Rip Rock shows are a cut-loose good time -- a high octane collision of irreverance, distortion and raw guitar-driven grit.

This legendary Louisiana Music Hall of Fame trio and longtime indie stalwart fuse roots rock, garage rock, country-punk and Southern swagger to earn praise from the New York Times for their "fluency in American roots music with a robust dose of punk rock spirit" and from SPIN as "undeniably the South's greatest rock band." With over seventeen underground classic albums, a loyal cross-genre fan base spanning rock, Americana and punk, and a 1990's radio hit with their tongue-in-cheek anthem "Let's Go Smoke Some Pot," Dash Rip Rock continues to deliver electrifying live shows.

Founder, lead guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Bill Davis is often credited as a pioneer of country punk, cowpunk and alt-country-- genres that merge rock, outlaw country and punk attitude.

In interviews, Davis describes his music as deeply roots-based; the Austin Chronicle hails him as "the brains behind Dash's brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick." On "A Song in Everyone", Dash Rip Rock returns with a brand new LP cut in Mississippi with Matt Patton of the Drive-By Truckers.
