Dash Rip Rock is the legendary New Orleans trio known for high-octane roots rock. The New York Times raves they combine, “fluency in American roots music with a robust dose of punk-rock spirit.” SPIN praises them as, “undeniably the South’s greatest rock band.” In 2012 Dash Rip Rock was honored to be inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
Bill Davis, founder, lead guitarist, vocalist and songwriter of Dash Rip Rock is often credited as a pioneer of country punk or “cowpunk.” This high energy genre combines elements of rock with country, outlaw country and punk rock. In interviews Davis says that he considers his music to be widely roots-based. The Austin Chronicle calls Davis “the brains behind Dash's brawn, a barroom poet with a wicked sense of humor and a shameless knack for a good lick.”
