Hillbilly Nightmare's Dirt Rock Demons sounds exactly as nasty as you'd hope it would. The guys are from Michigan, but they talk and rock like Clevelanders in Disengage-style songs like album-opener "Drinking." The crusty rawk tune has the irresistible chorus, "Throw/One back/I'm ready for another." But we think maybe they stole that from Shakespeare.
