Over the past four years The Dirty Nil have released a handful of 7” singles, mixtapes, EPs, and limited edition lathe cut records, while persistently touring all over North America. This November, a new 7-inch will join the collection, via Dine Alone Records. No Weaknesses b/w Provisional features the double edge sword of breakneck violent fuzz and pure anthemic catharsis; a combination of unhinged punk rock noise and stick-in-your-head pop melodies. The listener has no choice but to feverishly scream along. The b-side Provisional takes a classic Fugazi cut and amplifies the blistering rage.
“I was completely terrified to release this cover. Fugazi hold such a colossal place in my mind. They’re the paragon of punk virtue, and they had the kind of autonomy and creative freedom that every band should aspire to. They’re like a ghost that haunts my every music-related thought.” – Dave Nardi of The Dirty Nil

Hailing from Dundas Ontario, The Dirty Nil consists of Luke Bentham (Guitar/vocals), Kyle Fisher (Drums), and Dave Nardi (Bass/vocals). The band works as a cross section of the most essential parts of rock and roll. Windmill heroics and smoke guitar theatrics sit side by side with uncompromising noise, feral energy, and deranged enthusiasm. They are shit eating grins and wild intensity.
The Dirty Nil play rock and roll – cause they couldn’t do a damn thing else if they tried.
The new album is currently being mixed by John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, Death Cab For Cutie, Unwound) for an early 2016 release on Dine Alone. Look for the No Weaknesses b/w Provisional 7” this fall, while the band continues their relentless touring cycle. Dates below.
