There really is something different about California. The proximity to mountains and oceans, forests and deserts, and heavily populated areas alternated with tiny little towns filled with a citizenry by turns hyper-liberal and hyper-conservative creates a huge, wildly varied patchwork that’s unlike anywhere else in the United States. Dirty Impound is located in the northern part of the Golden State, and our worldview is very much informed by our roots in the swinging 70s in the San Francisco Bay Area. While we wouldn’t dare attempt to define the state, we do think this selection of tunes offers some nifty POV on what makes Cali tick. And yes, we included the damn Zeppelin song – we aren’t made of stone.
