History:
Dirty Rhythm were an exceptional melodic hair metal band, with a sound at times
similar to Skid Row and
Cry Wolf. But like so many melodic glam
bands of the early 90's, they faded without a trace.
The band was formed in Portland, oregon by Jeffrey Michael Bonds (vocals), Brian
Harrison (guitar and keyboard) and Samuel Zern (drums). They were offered a recording contract before a demo was even finished
and headed off to Canada to record with Loverboy guitarist Paul Dean. During the sessions for what would
become the debut album, new members Anthony Brian Greenham (bass, who appeared as a guitarist on
Annihilator's 1989 album Alice In Hell) and Troy Miller (drums) were brought into the fold.
.
Due in part to their label waiting a year before releasing Hard As A Rock, the album and it's singles
"Hot N' Cold" and "Feel The Fire" sank without a trace and Dirty Rhythm faded into obscurity. Never Cleaned Up surfaced
in 2006 and contained old songs from the Dirty Rhythm vaults.
