Review:

Exactly 2 years to the month, Ashton Nyte (the man behind The Awakening) releases his second solo album. Stephen Segerman recently referred to Ashton on SAFM as the "chameleon of SA rock" and that's exactly what he is. His influences and styles are many and varied; Lou Reed, Bono, David Bowie (another chameleon), Tom Waits and Andrew Eldritch all play a part in the Ashton Nyte persona.

'Dirt Sense' is a powerful album with strong tunes and hard-hitting lyrics. As the quote on the back cover says: "Long live dirty Rock 'n Roll".
