Discography
Explore the discography, starting with six studio albums, in reverse chronological order:
May 8, 2026
Fading Sun
Ten new songs, recorded in Kevin and Micha's home studio. Blues, roots rock, and some gospel. Slide guitar, harmonica, backing vocals, all you need.
The songs circle around that moment when life knocks the wind out of you, when you look in the mirror and don't recognize yourself anymore, when memories feel heavier than the road ahead. Some songs hit home right away, others are slow burns. And somewhere in there, a fading sun sets the sky on fire.

Released 2018
Revelation
Released in February 2018 and produced by Mario Goossens from Triggerfinger. Six tracks, louder and heavier than anything the band had done before — big drums, overdriven slide guitar, the volume turned way up.
Opens with the driving "High and Fine," moves through "Ain't That Something" and the darker "Head Down in the Darkness," then closes with "I Know It's Right." Blues Magazine called it "a hard punch to the gut" — can't argue with that.
Released 2015
Hoodoo Down
Released November 2015, this is where things got bigger. The band brought in guests on organ, Wurlitzer, piano, saxophone, percussion, and backing vocals — still blues at heart, but no longer limiting themselves.
"The Porch Light" has that Chicago shuffle feel, "Alley Cat" owes something to Louis Jordan, "Turmoil" is a protest chant, and "The Golden Stairs" goes full gospel call-and-response. The quiet JJ Cale-style closer "The End of the Road" later ended up in the short film Missed.
Released 2014
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2014
Rolling Into Town
Launched live at Paradiso Amsterdam in November 2014, this third album features fifteen tracks recorded at Red Bull Studios. It won Best Dutch Blues Album — third year in a row, which nobody saw coming.
Acoustic fingerpicking blends with jazz and Dixieland influences: the slow-burn title track, the ragtime swing of "My Baby'll Make It Right," foot-stomper "Ride the Blind," and a slide-guitar nod to Muddy Waters on "Patron Saint." "Sounds of Eyes" is the closest the band has come to straight-up jazz-blues.
Released 2013
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2013
Sell Your Soul
Released Friday the 13th of September 2013 — seemed appropriate. Cut live at the BandBunker in Amersfoort, thirteen tracks, mostly acoustic. Won Best Dutch Blues Album for the second year running.
Stripped-down delta blues with a few full-band arrangements thrown in. The raw, slide-driven opener sets the tone, and "Number 10" gets swampy and electric. Most of it is just guitar, harmonica, and whatever the band could drag out of themselves that day.
Debut 2012
🏆 Best Dutch Blues Album 2012
The Damned and Dirty
In the summer of 2012 Kevin and Micha locked themselves into a studio in Amsterdam-Noord for two days and came out with thirteen acoustic blues tracks. The record was self-released and free online: no label, no tour, no follow-up planned. It won Best Dutch Blues Album.
Lo-fi delta blues: screaming slide guitar, raw vocals, wailing blues harp. Raw, the kind of record you make when you're not thinking about making a record.
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 2016 vinyl single features sharp-edged slide guitar, raw harmonica, and stripped-down drums. Presented at Paradiso Amsterdam — the band at their loudest and rawest.
The vinyl-only B-side, “I Ain’t Coming Home,” features a more laid-back, country sound complete with violin. There's also a 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 heavily compressed audio: like standing right in 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 song about the toilet-paper hysteria that gripped the nation in the first wave 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 take on “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.
