...Bee Sting... is an incredible showcase of the band’s creativity and their impressive musicianship flair, wrapped up in an enthralling rock ride.

The Dirty Pennies craft a subdued, sunny, and warm psych rock track with latest release ‘Bee Sting’. Channeling the energy, vibes, and spirit of spring and summer, they extrapolate it all with melodic symmetries, electric textures, springing beats, and colorful keys. And with progression, it develops a sharpness, much like a Bee Sting, creating an itch only that this band can scratch.

The Dirty Pennies craft toe-tapping, psychedelic-tinged alt-rock like it’s nobody’s business. Their scorching new single, “Bee Sting,” will leave your ears floating while you play air guitar with glee [shout out to Muhammad Ali for inspiring that compliment]. This epic track is damn near seven minutes long, but its runtime flies by. The song's first half is a solid rock jam, packed to the brim with groovy bass lines, wicked keyboards, and some blazing tom rolls on the drums.

Uniquely described by fans in many ways, like “a stoner rock project of The Beach Boys” or “early King Gizzard,” The Dirty Pennies have clearly succeeded in forming a unique sound that can’t be simply defined. As of recent, the band has leaned more heavily into their psychedelic influences, highlighted on their 2023 track, “Head Open,” and their newest single, “Bee Sting.”

Bringing back more of that bright and electrifying psych-rock aesthetic they have cultivated over the years, 'Bee Sting' makes for a wonderfully rich and enjoyable listen. With its soaring textures, driven atmosphere, and captivating hooks layered throughout, they are returning to the fold with one of their most impactful efforts to date here.

The Dirty Pennies have carved themselves into the totem pole of rock and roll in Rochester. If the Bug Jar made a noise it would sound exactly like the grunge filled overdriven blues fuzz of The Dirty Pennies guitar. It’s punchy and laid back, it’s blues and metal, it’s a strange combination of things that makes them uniquely fit into a plenty of sub genres. I’m Your Man follows that same path, a gritty, lager filled, one corner of your mouth grin that remains in your face while showing you what’s behind it.

It’s easy to make comparisons to big rock outfits like Queens of the Stone Age but what I started to notice was a shrouded similarity to Sex Bob-Omb from the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

This is the soundtrack to your apocalyptic dance party — socially-distanced, of course. The pandemic hasn’t slowed down Rochester’s The Dirty Pennies. Today marks their third release of 2020 with the single “Waste Away.” Gritty garage rock is the trio’s forte and it comes in spades with this new song.

Rock n Roll has been in long need of a straighter posture and The Dirty Pennies seem dead set on replacing it’s spine.  On their latest EP our boys deliver a tight set of straight ahead tuneage that’ll keep heads nodding and bodies moving.

The vision I got when I heard garage rockers The Dirty Pennies second single Things You Say, is a late night on the Sunset Strip, back when The Whiskey was really a go-go bar..the girls dancing to fast guitar bands, a haze of smoke from cigarettes seemed to linger right above your head…

 The Dirty Pennies new "EP" is "primal rock 'n' roll with just the right amount of blues to keep it all in place. Picture a less-stuffy Strokes or a more manic Black Keys."
