BMX Bandits - Gettin Dirty

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Scottish band's 1995 album including six bonus tracks. True hero's of the underground (certainly the Scottish music underground), defiantly of the Bellshill scene. Duglas T. Stewart has been the mainstay of this band that has featured members of the Teenage Fan club and the Vasalines. Their sound is as much West Coast Americana as it is west Scotland. Their songs are full of heartbreak and humor mixed with a laid back guitar sound that amongst many others attracted the attention of Kurt Cobain who was famously photographed wearing their T-shirts and claiming that they were the only other band he would like to be in. This edition of Getting Dirty includes all the b-sides and the fantastic cover of the Jonathan Richman song 'Summer Feeling'. It also includes sleeve notes by Duglas and images dug out from his loft. Cherry Red. 2010.
