Discography
Explore our discography, starting with six studio albums, in reverse chronological order:
Coming late 2025
First single "Fading Sun" releases July 18, 2025
Fading Sun
Our self-produced sixth studio album. Across ten new songs, the band takes you on a twilight road trip through doubt, longing, and redemption, weaving slide guitar with gospel-inspired backing vocals and harmonica hooks
The album smoothly navigates between melancholy and smoldering intensity, each song telling its own story about loss, longing, and the passage of time.
Released 2018
Revelation
Released 11 February 2018 and produced by Triggerfinger drummer Mario Goossens, Revelation straps a muscular rock chassis onto The Damned and Dirty’s delta-blues foundation. Across six concise tracks, punchy drums and overdriven bottleneck guitar push the duo into their heaviest territory yet.
The EP kicks off with the driving “High and Fine,” moves through swaggering “Ain’t That Something” and the brooding “Head Down in the Darkness,” then lands on the cathartic closer “I Know It’s Right.” As Blues Magazine put it, “a hard punch to the gut” — praising its raw, unrelenting intensity.
Released 2015
Hoodoo Down
Released November 20, 2015, Hoodoo Down expands the band’s sound well beyond duo-driven blues into a rich mix of jazz, country, roots rock, and raw blues.
The album features guest musicians on organ, Wurlitzer, piano, saxophone, violin, percussion, backing vocals, and drums, creating a live, dynamic feel.
Songs span the electrified title cut, protest chant “Turmoil,” Chicago-shuffle-inspired “The Porch Light,” and Louis Jordan-flavoured “Alley Cat.” “The Golden Stairs” adds gospel call-and-response, while the JJ-Cale-styled closer “The End of the Road” — later featured in the short film Missed — eases the set to a dusk-lit finish.
Released 2014
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2014
Rolling Into Town
Released November 17, 2014 —launched live at Paradiso, Amsterdam— this third album earned its status as Best Dutch Blues Album. Recorded in June 2014 at Red Bull Studios, it features a 15-track set blending acoustic delta blues fingerpicking with bursts of jazz, Dixieland, and rock influence.
Highlights include the slow-burn title track, ragtimey “My Baby'll Make It Right,” foot-stomper “Ride the Blind,” slide-driven Muddy Waters homage “Patron Saint,” and the jazz-blues shuffle “Sounds of Eyes.” Still grounded in country-blues grit, the album also hints at the wider stylistic detours that would blossom on later albums.
Released 2013
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2013
Sell Your Soul
Released Friday 13 September 2013 and cut live at the BandBunker in Amersfoort, Sell Your Soul captures thirteen raw, Mississippi-steeped blues tracks and secured the duo a second consecutive Dutch Blues Album award.
The album delivers a powerful mix of stripped-down Mississippi‑style acoustic blues and occasional full‑band arrangements. Songs like the raw, slide‑driven opener emphasize guitar and harp, while tracks such as “Number 10” showcase a more electric, swampy energy.
Debut 2012
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2012
The Damned and Dirty
Released September 1, 2012, this self-released debut began as a free digital project with 13 acoustic blues tracks recorded in just two days at 20Twelve Audio in Amersfoort. Awarded Best Dutch Blues Album by the Dutch Blues Foundation, the album immediately sidetracked ambitions from a one-off side project to their main act.
With lo-fi delta blues energy, the album showcases raw slide guitar, harmonica, and unfiltered vocals — a sound described as “screaming slide guitar, raw vocals and wailing blues harp” by critics.
Singles
Most albums are accompanied by a few singles, but there's also a few standalone singles that are not part of any album. Here they are:
Single 2016
Limited Edition Vinyl Single
Bye Bye to Ya
/ I ain't coming home
This limited-edition tough-as-nails 2016 vinyl single features sharp-edged slide guitar and raw harmonica and vocals with stripped-down drums. Presented at Paradiso Amsterdam, it captures the band's ragged roots-rock sound.
The vinyl-only B-side, “I Ain’t Coming Home,” features a more laid-back, country sound complete with violin. And don't miss the live version of this single at Paradiso!
Live single 2016
Recorded live on Radio Veronica's Countdown Café
The Porch Light
Live at Countdown Café / Radio Veronica
This radio-session take on fan-favourite The Porch Light was captured live on Veronica’s legendary Countdown Café in 2016 and finally released to streaming only in 2020. Mic bleed and over-compressed audio drop you straight inside the studio!
The Pandemic Sessions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, The Damned and Dirty released a series of singles in 2020 and 2021 called The Pandemic Sessions. These tracks were recorded remotely, with each member contributing from their own home. In chronological order, they include:
Pandemic Sessions
Lockdown Blues
Written at the height of the first Dutch lockdown, “Lockdown Blues” is a classic 12-bar, delta-picking lament recorded remotely in separate living-rooms. A tribute to the toilet-paper hysteria that gripped the nation in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The music video’s split-screen shows the same day on loop: coffee, couch, dog-walk, repeat — capturing the numb monotony many of us felt in spring 2020.
Pandemic Sessions
Curfew Boogie
A biting foot-stomper born in 2021, right when the Netherlands imposed its first nationwide curfew since WWII. It mocks the mass hysteria — 5G conspiracies, vaccine fears — and the government’s belief that locking everyone indoors would somehow fix things.
The videoclip is pretty fire, watch it on YouTube!
Pandemic Sessions
Vaccination Rag
A tongue-in-cheek ode to “getting the jab.” Bottleneck guitar, washboard taps and Kevin’s harmonica were recorded in separate living-rooms, then stitched together overnight and released on 25 June 2021 as the final chapter of the Pandemic Sessions
