Marcin Wielewski Raw, dark and dirty hard rock. Favorite track: Broke Bottle Blues.

Sekator I don't usually listen to "Dark, dirty, fuzz-fueled riff-rock", but when I do, it's bloody gonna be Filthy Lucre.

Like a groovier offshoot of QOTSA, but with better vocals, these guys deliver the goods.

Essential for every rocker out there. Favorite track: Devil Man.

PhoenixRisen Dirty blues rock from Down Under. Strange origins, but they know how to groove for sure. Favorite track: Boundless Plains.
James Matthews

James Matthews 'Reel you in from four streets away?' This album has reeled me in from half a world away. Excellent vocals and fuzzy blues-licked riffs make for a simply amazing album. MUST BUY Favorite track: Boundless Plains.

AnnaTi Just take my money...take it all! World Corp is sensational. One of the most anticipated albums of the year has blown all expectations. Sensational.

Dover Street 04:16
What you want, yeah I don’t understand Got a jug of whiskey, let’s drink it down You used to hit it hard but now you’re layin’ around Rile you up, take you down Don’t you tell me what I’m not supposed to do Have another drink, or maybe two I wanna show you how but I’m not the one Drink all night, see the sun Hey - don’t think you’re tryin’ Yeah - do you think I’m lyin’ You don’t wanna come along And I don’t wanna be your dog Well I gotta come around I can’t stand it no more Turn the music up and baby lock the door Smash a few bottles on the kitchen floor I gotta come around tonight Fourteen days by my brother’s side Drinkin’ lots of rum will make me feel alright Tell me a little more of what it’s like To be free

World Corp 03:40
I got told by the man in black To keep my eyes on the road, my foot on the gas I don’t know nothing – that’s what I’ll say When they come around askin’ what went on that day Can’t lock me up Can’t stop me now I’ve been running far too long I’m packin’ up I’ve run amok in this city far too long Incriminating files on a floppy disc I got my face drawn up on the wanted list They don’t know nothing Yeah that’s what they say when they come around askin’ what went on that day
3.
Devil Man 03:49
Oh girl try to talk to me but something just get in the way My mind’s on a ball and chain no I hardly even know my name Oh this man got a grip on my soul no he just won’t give me a chance That devil keep hangin’ around, got me spinning out in a trance The devil man don’t wanna let go I gotta get in my car and drive The devil man ain’t gonna let go I gotta let it all out tonight Oh somebody crossed the line I gotta get myself back on track Man sitting on my shoulder says he’s never gonna hold back Oh you bring me to my knees and my face in the palm of my hands This is what you do to a man but you just couldn’t give a damn
4.
Saved my money for the harder days I spent it all on my wicked ways Lord give me something to put my mind at ease I grabbed a bottle of that Tennessee Walked down to the field at morn’ Bust the hinges off that old door Smoke stack square bottle of rust Cigar box and a whole lotta dust
5.
One path to follow, one road to take One thing in my possession and one day Called up an old friend, said it’s been too long Wise man left something in my name – and he said It’s hand made, from your harder days Man-made, from your wicked ways I gotta get out of these concrete walls I’ve got to free my mind, and my soul Put on my old clothes, and untie my hands Gotta meet my friend in the city Who says he’s got a plan that’s hand made
6.
Wake up at quarter to five I’ve got mud on my shoes Lay down in the gutter with my broke bottle blues Then I get up in morning with the sun on my back Think about you darling and I come crawling back Shouting out your name in the dark when I’ve got some Broke bottle Screaming it out ‘cos I just can’t stand Broke bottle blues The dogs come running when I’m all alone They’ve been sniffing me out yeah since I’ve been gone Lay awake at night just staring into the sky Take another swig and I wonder am I living a lie

Mara 02:49

Run out the back door – just keep on running Turn the corner, and don’t look back The boundless plains, land of the free Completely blind to the hypocrisy One nation rules all lives And try to cover our eyes Poison the mind with lies One nation’s own Out on the oceans lost in the sea Out in the desert on bended knee Put down the spade, take off your masks You’ve lost your way you’ve got to give it back now You’re stuck feeding murderers plans Eyes closed from your political stance But you’ve got their blood on your hands More blood spread across their lands
9.
Moonshine 03:48
I’m comin’ around just to waste my time I’m sitting down ‘cos I’ve lost my mind Just give me a call on the moonshine Just give me a call Don’t tell me what to do with my money Don’t tell me what to do with my time I’ve got a bottle just for myself Make it last for a while I’m strumming aloud just to rattle my cage If Tom Waits taught me somethin’ it’s to bottle my rage Take it out at night and drink it under the sky Gonna break that bottle baby don’t ask why
10.
Take It Slow 04:36
Take it slow tonight, my mind’s still shaken Don’t feel anything at all Pass the pulling tide, whatever it’s worth You’ve fallen for somebody Taking it slow tonight Don’t break down Cold sweat at night We’re taking it slow tonight Take all your money, down that hill Can’t buy your way out of this Take that forty-five, and don’t look back Your train’s coming soon enough
11.
Feelin' Down 05:23
You said you’re going away Said you’re leaving town I ain’t got no company Don’t even know how Got yourself a man, got another job I got a stick, I got a dog That’s all I need when I’m feelin’ down She took all I got Y’know she took it away I’m heading back to my old friend I got a place to stay What’s yours is yours What’s mine is too Knew from the start, you weren’t true And once again – babe I’ve got them blues
12.
Gotta Live 04:52
Wo’oh Now you know I gotta live Wo’oh Girl you know I gotta try I’m livin’ on the back of a run-in I’ve got you just where I want One shot and I’m waiting for the feeling Look around just to see what I’ve got Keep moving with my eyes half-shot Keep running just to know it won’t stop Got my ear to the ground at the railway Hear the thunder that’s rolling on by
13.
Sail 04:16
14.
I feel, just a little bit Like I’m stuck going round and round I think, just a little bit Not enough to stop me getting out I’m sick, yeah I’m sick of it Sick of working just to work it all out You need, just a little bit A little more from me every last time Why don’t you look around Just a little bit Before you hit the ground Just a little bit – before we work it all out I smoke, just a little bit Not enough to keep you out of my brain I drink, just a little bit Not enough to stop me going insane You talk, just a little bit Not enough to let the truth come out I’ve had, just enough of it Reality is making up my mind

about

Filthy Lucre Adelaide, Australia

Filthy Lucre are a duo set to challenge the limits of how big a band can sound with only two members. Taking inspiration from both delta blues and heavy desert rock, the fuzz-soaked riffs will have you wondering if it’s the eras of Muddy Waters or the Californian desert rock scene of the 90’s you’re being drawn back to. ... more
