Dirty American – Morals Sold

Get ready to have your speakers blown out. “Morals Sold,” the latest track from NW Florida’s one-man punk arsenal Dirty American, is not polished, radio-friendly pop-punk; this is the real deal, a track that channels the pissed-off spirit of late ‘80s and early ‘90s punk and slams it right into the present day.

The brainchild of Ryan Remington, Dirty American is a solo project where he single-handedly makes, writes, and performs every punishing note and manic yell. On “Morals Sold,” Remington unleashes a torrent of heavy, distorted guitar riffs that are pure filth in the best way possible. The tone is crunchy and aggressive, perfectly made to fuel the song’s political rage. The drums hit with a relentless, almost hip-hop-like assertiveness that gives the track a unique, modern backbone, proving that programmed beats can still pack a serious physical punch when done with this much attitude.

Remington’s yells are genuine, unrefined, and dripping with a conviction that’s impossible to fake. He uses his voice as a weapon to amplify the track’s core message: a blistering takedown of the corruption, inequality, and moral rot eating away at modern America. This is music for the pissed-off and pushed-aside, a cry for everyone who’s had enough and won’t shut up about it anymore. That rough-around-the-edges feel is not a bug, it’s the feature – makes the whole thing feel like it’s exploding out of some grimy, packed basement show.

“Morals Sold” hits like a sledgehammer from punk’s newest heavyweight. Ryan Remington hasn’t just nailed that classic sound – he’s pumped it full of fresh, toxic energy that we desperately need right now. This is what rebellion sounds like, and damn, it’s brilliant. Play it till your speakers beg for mercy.
