The Dandy Warhols
Praise for new album ROCKMAKER
"A cracking collection of lively and snarky Power Pop tunes"
The Arts Desk ★★★★
"Rockmaker is an experience of the addictive kind, a fitting reminder of what’s terrific about the Portland band" - Clash
"A rambunctious rock record with gnarled guitars and unexpected industrial flourishes" - Mojo
"The most quintessential ’90s band of them all prove they still know how to rock with the best of them" - Music OMH ★★★★
"Courtney Taylor-Taylor and co return to their snarky sweet spot" - Uncut
"A burst of hypnotic, multi-faceted alt-rock" - Whynow
“’I Will Never Stop Loving You’ is the only true ‘love song’ I have ever written,” admits Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols about the fourth single taken from their new album ROCKMAKER which is released today, March 15, 2024 via Sunset Blvd.
Featuring vocals from the legendary Debbie Harry, ‘I Will Never Stop Loving You’ is a darkly anxious track that sees Harry’s radiant vocals dodging Taylor-Taylor’s sinister growl, adding a brightness to the shadows of obsession that his vocals suggest. “Dark as it may be, I truly believe it represents love and what that word means to many people,” he adds.
Debbie’s contribution to the track is one that Courtney does not take lightly. For an album that already boasts features from Frank Black on ‘Danzig With Myself’ and Slash on ‘I’d Like To Help You With Your Problem,’ her presence anoints it with even more majestic grace that NME plauds as “epic.” “Debbie’s voice elevated this song to a level that nothing else could possibly have done,” he explains in awe of her vocal prowess. “Upon hearing it, I think I learned more about singers in that moment than I have learned in the last 15 years… I don’t know… Maybe ever.”

Seeing a recent dearth of records rife with “heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs,” The Dandy Warhols made one of their own. What they ended up with is an album that The Arts STL describes as “a kaleidoscope of sound and style as only The Dandy Warhols can bring with their infectious and psychedelic vibes that can’t be pigeonholed into a single genre, so don’t even try." The Spill Magazine lauds, “ROCKMAKER embodies a sonic evolution for The Dandy Warhols, characterized by a deliberate emphasis on guitar riffs over chords and melodies.” Vanyaland adds, “The Dandy Warhols have never been ones to fall in step, so it’s little surprise that their new LP ROCKMAKER doesn’t necessarily meet or exceed expectations as much as set its own bar.” Downtown Los Angeles praised, “Combining psych-rock, shoegaze, power pop, synth pop, and more with the cheeky detachment of their pop-art namesake, the Dandy Warhols are equally skilled at heady reveries and satirical pop.”
The Dandy Warhols is Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Peter Holmström (guitar, keyboards), Zia McCabe (keyboard, bass, percussion), and Brent DeBoer (drums, backing vocals). ROCKMAKER is released today, March 15, 2024 via Sunset Blvd and was produced by Peter Holmström and Courtney Taylor-Taylor.
