Dirty Deal,<\/p>\n

A Maryland-based hard rock band that was formed in the 80’s and continues today. Originally starting out as The Shift; personnel and management changes led to a recording contract. Record producer, Kim Fowley suggested the band change it’s name and Dirty Deal was born from the ashes of The Shift.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After the band’s Kim Fowley ( of the GTO’s fame ) produced debut was pulled from shelves when a struggling Erika Records filed bankruptcy, the band experienced lineup changes under the guidance of vocalist Terry Miller. Continuing into the 90’s with the lineup which is now Dirty Deal, the band enjoyed five additional releases and continues today writing and performing between the member’s varying projects.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dirty Deal is widely known in the Mid-Atlantic region for their brand of rock and energizing live shows.<\/div>\n
