“The Dirty Souls bring a lot to the table and are one of the better live bands in Atlanta. Their shows are high energy to say the least as they deliver their loud fuzzy rock-n-roll music that is reminiscent of classic bands of the past. Matt Johnson's vocals are framed by thumping rhythms delivered by Jason Holt and Adam Johnson while Alex Slinin's effortless guitar playing is the hook that draws listeners in.”

“Atlanta's own Dirty Souls are making a name for themselves with their nasty guitar driven rock and roll music. Their sound harkens back to a simpler time when folks made music with instruments and not computers. Chunky rhythms and blistering guitars pave the road for soulful vocals as they deliver tunes that sound oh so familiar while keeping it fresh and original.”
