Jo Webb & The Dirty Hands are the best band you’ve never heard of. They don’t frequent the celebrity hangouts and liaise with the tabloid sleaze of the week. They’re too busy working on crafting their infectious and intelligent songs. Celebrity and pop culture’s excesses have become passe. Jo Webb & The Dirty Hands’ relentless devotion to music is the new Rock N’Roll philosophy. Jo Webb & The Dirty Hands are spearheading a return to form where Pop music stimulates the heart and mind rather than the eyes. Each song delivers a message to the listener in contrast to the abundance of sugar-coated talent show crooner wanabees and the endlessly retro style-over-substance pseudo-art Indie guitar currently on the scene. Influenced by lyricists such as Andy Partridge (XTC), Roger Waters and Frank Zappa, Jo Webb writes hook-driven songs that combines lush vocal harmonies (inspired by The Beatles and The Beach Boys) with twin guitar-solos (a la Iron Maiden & Thin Lizzy), powerhouse drums and bass with new-wave inspired synths (think The Cars & Todd Rundgren). Throw The Dirty Hands’ love for volume into the mix and the result is an explosive and hard hitting contemporary sound. With debut album “Acrobat” set for release in February 2009 on Clean Feet Records, their first UK tour and several festival slots already in the diary, Jo Webb & The Dirty Hands are the band to watch out for in 2009.
