Dirty Sound Magnet - Live Alert (Full Album) “what happens when you lock yourself in a room with your best friends and instruments for 10 years?” Well... pure madness, power, groove, mystic and out-of-control guitar solos that will take your breath away. This is one record that shows Dirty Sound Magnet in their prime. All members are fully aligned to the band, the brand, and – more importantly – the style and direction they want to take. And this gives the album a sense of uncanny authenticity that other bands often cannot produce. This is the real thing, the guys are living the music. No cinematic antics for show, no overblown theatrics. What you hear is exactly what you get during a concert with DSM.
So, once you hit the play button of Live Alert, the groove just hits you back like a counterpunch. This is rock so retro, you’d wish the ’70s to return to you. Deliciously scratchy tunes played by a band with Blues Rock in their genes, but who decided to go the alternate and juicily psychedelic route. The tightly performed songs often end in wild improvised jams where the listener can feel the passion, skill and musical freedom of the trio. Live Alert is bold, emotional and most importantly 100% authentic and sincere.
After 240 shows all over Europe and 2 studio albums since 2017, the Swiss psych-rock power trio wanted to translate the frenetic energy of their live shows on record. Live Alert is simply a studio recording of the band's live set. The album contains no overdubs and was mostly recorded in one take.
