Juno Award-winning Canadian trio the Dirty Nil play a staggeringly loud, blown-out mélange of hard rock and punk with hoarse, raw vocals. Self-described as a "rock & roll band" and not a punk outfit, they toured for years before releasing an album, winning themselves a spot on the Warped Tour without ever compromising their ideals. Seasoned by years of road work, the Dirty Nil's debut album, 2016's Higher Power, was a rough but muscular approximation of their live attack, while their second album, 2018's Master Volume, was more refined but no less swaggering. Two years later the band issued the punchy F**k Art, which included the wry and explosive single "Done with Drugs," and 2023's Free Rein to Passions was a stripped-down, elemental set that took them back to their creative roots.
