Hard-partying SoCal band the Dirty Heads, one of Rolling Stone's Best New Bands of 2010, recently brought their mellow reggae-rock grooves to our studios for an exclusive Live at Rolling Stone session. The band was accompanied by buddy Rome Ramirez, who happens to be the new singer of Sublime With Rome and also features on the band's radio hit "Lay Me Down."

Check out candid photos of the Dirty Heads and more of our best breakout acts of the year.

The breakout band and Rome performed a pair of tracks from their debut disc Any Port in the Storm for us: Up top, watch the Dirty Heads' laidback "Stand Tall," and down below check out "Lay Me Down" and "Believe," which name-checks main of the band's influences: The Beastie Boys, marijuana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, more marijuana and, of course, Sublime.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
