DIRTY LOOKS' 1988 major label debut titled COOL FROM THE WIRE features 11 solid hard rock tracks and includes the band's biggest hit "Oh Ruby". Led by Henrik Ostergaard, who passed away of liver failure in early 2011, DIRTY LOOKS was one of the those 80s glam/hair rock bands that never made it big, mainly due to constant band turnover, and they remain overlooked by the mainstream to this day, and that's a shame. Standout tracks on COOL FROM THE WIRE include the title track opener plus "It's Not The Way You Rock", "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", "Oh Ruby" & "Tokyo", though all eleven tunes are enjoyable, there really is no clunker on the album. If you are a fan of bands like VAIN, and early MOTLEY CRUE, and RATT, then do yourself a favor and pickup COOL FROM THE WIRE from DIRTY LOOKS because you will not be disappointed. I give it a satisfying 4 out of 5 stars. ROCK ON, longliveneil.Read full review
This is a great cd,I would say it falls between AC/DC and some of the L.A. hairmetal stuff of L.A. Guns,Faster Pussycat.Great guitar fueled hard rock and the vocals are just amazing,I would say they would appeal more to the hard rock 80's scene but still would be great even for heavier music fans!!
Originally from Calif. Dirty Looks reformed in Central PA., not Eire, with this lineup, and in my opinion, was the best of many. The 4 musicians on this CD are rock solid. This is one rocking recording, the best from Dirty Looks.
exceptional! this is probably one of the best albums ever made. right up there with appetite, nothings shocking, apple.. a must have if you like good rock n roll..
One of the best and one of my favorite Dirty Looks albums. This is a must own CD. If you have never listened to this album... you missed the boat in the mid 80's.
