“Dirtblonde are now; Dirtblonde are then; Dirtblonde are like a punk rock orchid. Shockingly beautiful, tragically delicate, and so immediate that if you blink, you'll miss them. They operate in that grey area of music that, if you squint, it could sit just as easily in any credible record collection, the set list of a trendy-London [Club] or indeed Pop World. In fact, I bet Simon from Pop World may soon give his right bollock to interview Dirtblonde. “ Channel 4’s Ideas Factory website
“Deranged short sharp punk pop melodies are supplanted by serious guitar abuse! They reek attitude and I liked ‘em.” Everything You Hate fanzine
“The Blonde, is a two piece that lives up to its name. From the perfectly styled fashionista that is singer Lula Blue, to the guitarist that looks like he’s been dragged through one of Pete Doherty’s parties. One of them is dirty and well, one of them is blonde.” No Ordinary Music fanzine.
“Blue’s vocals are vaguely reminiscent of Kim Gordon if she hailed from the Wirral while Hell’s git lines give songs like ‘I’m Tired’ a totally original filthy edge.” JOY fanzine
“This really is corking…the songs exude a gawky yet insouciant menace…in all, a top-notch effort, to which the only fitting response is, quite simply, ‘ace’.” TASTY fanzine
“It’s noisy and messy, but also has a blues influence. Fast gaining a reputation for tempestuous gigs, catchy riffs and memorable tunes.” BBC Liverpool
“A delicious slab of nasty rock scuzz... it’s the sound of motorcycle crashes, of bruised eyes, of existential rage and a yearning for glamour in a grey world.” Kitten Painting Fanzine
“I'm already hooked on [Dirtblonde] with no looking back. This is quite simply because 'The Hangmen' is ace... their music is unnerving and honest in its construction, It's also really rather excellent.” Shadowplay Fanzine
"Provides the most excitement and compulsive listening. The whole plot rumbles, viciously and recklessly, like a lorry with no brakes, careering against the railings...There are obvious shades of JAMC, but with far more abrasive intent than any NYC wannabe... you don’t have a Jack and Meg, you have more of Sid & Nancy meets natural born killers Mickey and Mallory. Lovely." ManchesterMusic Website
" ...A highly invigorating, scuzzy din of squealing feedback, dirty bass lines and blasé female vocals that’s all delivered with plenty of punk venom." GIGWISE
"A superb bit of paranoid art-rock fuzz that realises the potential shown in their scatty early demo's...This single is wonderfully produced, raw, energetic and promises hangmen at your door coming to get you. Shades of Jesus & Mary Chain, early Nirvana, Mclusky." I Shot The Deputy
