THE DIRTY NIL UNVEIL NEW WHO-HOMAGE VIDEO FOR “FRIENDS IN THE SKY”
HEAD OUT ON TOUR WITH BILLY TALENT IN EUROPE
With indie rock fuzz-bombs and shout-along choruses, The Dirty Nil has an explosive sound harnessed through countless hours spent kicking up a racket in the suburban basements of Dundas, ON. The trio’s raucous anthems pack a wallop on their critically acclaimed debut album Higher Power that was released earlier this year via Dine Alone Records. Wrapping up a hugely successful summer, the band have been constantly on the road, supporting FLAG and Billy Talent in June and September in the US and performing at Amnesia Rock Fest & Riot Fest in Chicago.
The band have just unveiled their latest video effort from their debut, for ‘Friends In The Sky’. The clip is a homage to The Who’s (in)famous debut appearance on American television, where they verbally (and literally) tore apart The Smothers Brothers. Luke Bentham – Guitar/Vocals commented on their video;
“Can silver pants from China give you cancer? I don’t know. What I can tell you however, is that speaker cones will catch fire if you subject them to the business end of a smoke grenade.”
