The Dirty Nil play rock and roll.
Loud, distorted, and out-of-control rock and roll. They make music for your record players, music for your house parties, music to drink beers to. They make music you want to fight to, scream to and sing a long to. If you’ve never heard of them make it your mission of the day to change that.
The three-piece band hails from Hamilton, Ontario. The band consists of Luke Bentham (guitar/vocals), Dave Nardi (bass/vocals), and Kyle Fisher (drums). They play like mad men, like they have a fever they are trying to sweat out. They only have a few 7-inches and a 10- inch EP, but all of it is musical gold. The recordings are great, but nothing can compare to seeing them live.
Their live performance is an unhinged, destructive force. I’ve never seen a band like them. A band that comes on stage and always gives it all they got every night, with huge grins on their faces too. It’s amazing to see three guys come together to make something vital, meaningful, and insanely loud. If you’ve never seen them play. Go. Revel in the din of loud fuzzed-out guitars, pounding drums, and howling vocals. If you don’t leave with a smile, covered in sweat or blood, you weren’t trying hard enough.
I loved this band the moment I heard them. They will always remind me of now. When I look back on my life years from now, they’ll be the band that defined my early 20’s. I relate a lot to the music. It’s the perfect balance of rabid punk, feral garage rock, and uneasy pop hooks. It’s music I think more people should hear.
The Dirty Nil play rock and roll – cause they couldn’t do a damn thing else if they tried.
