Dash Rip Rock is an American rock band. The band is best known for its cowpunk sound, which mixes punk rock, rockabilly, hard rock, country and boogie.[1] The New York Times stated that Dash Rip Rock combines “fluency in American roots music with a robust dose of punk-rock spirit.”[2] Bill Davis, Dash Rip Rock's founder and frontman, is a songwriter known for his blistering guitar work.[3] Spin praised Dash Rip Rock as “undeniably the South’s greatest rock band.” In 2012, Dash Rip Rock was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.[4]

"Their roots sound's supercharged with energy and an overdose of irreverence, delivered with crunchy swagger," Creative Loafing wrote.[5]
