For Justin Smolian, Paul McCartney is nothing short of a bass playing genius. “It's the later stuff that really gets me,” he says. “The bass guitar on Abbey Road is just amazing. In fact, there’s a track on the new Dirty Honey record where I remember thinking, ‘what would Paul McCartney do on this song?’”
Blending classic rock riffs with Marc LaBelle's searing vocals, Dirty Honey have established themselves as one of the most exciting bands of the past few years. In addition to making history as the only unsigned act to hit #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Chart, they’ve also opened for stadium rockers The Who, Kiss and Guns N’ Roses. “We played six stadium shows with Guns N’ Roses last summer," says Justin. “I've still not met Axl, but it was fucking insane.”
