WASHINGTON POST
“What lifts Dash Rip Rock’s album a head above most Southern rock is Davis’s ability to write songs that do more than sell beer on Saturday night.”

CREATIVE LOAFING
“Their roots sound’s supercharged with energy and an overdose of irreverence, delivered with crunchy swagger.”

AUSTIN CHRONICLE
“…no one can replace Bill Davis. He’s the brains behind Dash’s brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick.”

METRO PULSE KNOXVILLE
“The band has outlasted the term cowpunk and seemed destined to survive alt-country; they rock sufficiently hard that nobody’s going to try to file them under Americana. In fact, the rock part of Dash Rip Rock’s country rock has gotten harder as time has passed; last year’s Black Liquor, released by Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles, finds the band more in tune with the Gories and the Oblivians than Mumford and Sons.”

OFFBEAT MAGAZINE
“Sporting some of Bill Davis’ hardest-hitting songs—and boosted by the best production the band’s had since its early-’90s alliance with the late Jim Dickinson—Black Liquor is the album where the band rocks out in earnest.”
