The ‘Dirty Hearts’ album is released on 25th Sept 2006 on Albert Productions UK.

"..drive, edge and absolute commitment.." Rolling Stone "..Aussie rock minus the prima donna factor.." Kerrang "..a gritty, dirty, mongrel piece of rock.."

Brag Australian rockers Dallas Crane are all set to blaze a trail in Blighty when they release the ‘Dirty Hearts’ album on Sept 25th.

Already big news in their native Australia (their last Oz released record sold a blistering 25,000 copies, and the new album looks set to go Gold), they offer up prime slabs of bluesy rock which are as infectious as bird flu!

With a sound that owes as much to Small Faces as AC/DC, the quartet began their journey to become an "overnight sensation" when they met while working in Melbourne!

Dave Larkin (vocal, guitar), Shan Vanderwert (drums, vocal), Pete Satchell (guitar, vocal) and Chris Brodie (bass) spent the next two years playing gigs and taking their show on the road with several of Australia's largest alternative acts. After touring to the point of exhaustion the band hit the studio. Bluesy romps like "Sit On My Knee" and "Sweet FA" became instant live favourites while "Sold Me" showcased their sublime song writing skills.

"No Through Road" brought Pat Bourke (bass) into the fold and the band embarked on another extensive tour which culminated with their appearance at Australia's premier Oz only music festival - Homebake.

Not long after their blistering set at The Big Day Out, the band signed a recording and publishing deal with Australian iconic label, Albert Productions, and headed straight to the studio with producer Wayne Connolly to record their self-titled album.

Scooping 3 ARIA nominations for Best Rock Album, Breakthrough Artist Single, and Breakthrough Album the album featured ‘Numb All Over’ and ‘Dirty Hearts’ which also claimed two spots on the JJJ Hottest 100.

All this while the band continued a relentless touring schedule including several trips to both sides of the continent with The Living End and Jet.

Now ‘Dirty Hearts’ will offer UK audiences a chance to hear what all the fuss is about. This early taster of the DALLAS CRANE experience should be grabbed with both hands!
