American garage rock band from Detroit, founded and led by Mick Collins; noted for a raw, R&B-tinged garage sound, covers and energetic live shows.

Founded and led by Mick Collins; mixes garage rock, punk, pop and R&B; has recorded for labels including In The Red (mentioned in reviews); has employed a two-drummer lineup (Ben Blackwell and Pat Pantano are cited in a live review).

Three DeBaser reviews praise Mick Collins and the Dirtbombs' raw, R&B-tinged garage sound. 'We Have You Surrounded' and 'Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-blooey!' receive strong praise; a live report notes heat, poor sound and professionalism onstage. Overall, reviewers admire Collins's songwriting and the band's energy.

For:Fans of garage rock, garage punk, Detroit rock and R&B-influenced rock.

 Mick Collins is a genius.

 the evening was plagued primarily by the terrible Roman heat of the weekend which carried into the evening inside the artist's circle, turning it into a crematorium, something that certainly did not help the audience enjoy the performance or the artists (in this case Mick Collins & C.) who were literally swimming in sweat while performing it.
