You can usually break down a Jersey ska band by the numbers, and Dirty Larry was no exception: nine years, seven bassists, eight horn players, two frontmen… and countless shows. Relying on the punk-infused energy of bands like Rx Bandits, Less Than Jake, and Catch22, the eight-piece, suburban horn band distinguished itself from local contemporaries, most notably with big city gigs at Philadelphia clubs. Dirty Larry played music they loved regardless of what the current trend was.
