The Dirty Nil is gearing up for the release of their new album, The Lash, set to arrive on July 25 via Dine Alone Records. Today, the group released a new single from the upcoming LP, “Rock N’ Roll Band.” The cheeky song has a fresh, undeniable aggression that takes direct aim at the pitfalls of the music industry. “Someone else is getting rich/Not you/That’s what you’re gonna do,” the lyrics utter. In short… it’s a perfect track for anyone who is enraged at the broken systems they’re stuck inside.
Vocalist frontman Luke Bentham shares, “This is the first song I wrote for The Lash. I don’t remember what particular aspect of the industry had got my goat that day, but I’d worked myself up to a fine lather. I blasted out the whole song in 30 minutes and instantly felt better. Though the song is pretty negative, it makes me happy. This one is for all the road dogs, we salute you.”
The Dirty Nil is currently on tour with Heart Attack Man for their headlining run. Check out the dates below and grab tickets here.
