The Dames – Detritus

Detritus is punk, metal, noise, pop, and plain old rock from a time when those things still mattered, a time before Kanye West’s MAGA hat and young people playing banjos in public without shame. It reveals a three-piece power trio full of piss, vinegar, and gas-station snacks who were determined to cut a swath through the musical landscape through sheer force of will. For a time, the group was on the cusp of something, but life intervened with their grand plans. Now, with the release of Detritus, The Dames are issuing a blunt reminder that rock is forever, and great riffs are eternal. “The Dames approached me to write something for the release of their collection of rarities. My first thought was: ‘The Dames want me to write about how awesome, fantastic, and wonderful they are.’ My second thought was, ‘I’d be thrilled to write about how awesome, fantastic, and wonderful The Dames are. Do you want it written in blood?'” – Todd Trainer, Shellac
