The Dirty Water

The Dirty Water formed in Toronto in 2010 over a shared love of wigged out fuzz, Great Lakes punk, stoned R&B, stabbed amps and panic rock. For these veterans of local units like The Sinisters, The Flamejobs, Drunkula and others, the recipe has always been simple: take your favourite sounds from when music was actually scary, double dip in beer batter, and deep-fry to a distorted crisp. Til now few recordings have come close to capturing their infernal live sound, a dinosaur stampede of royally clobbered drums, amps too hot to touch and a singer locked in a life and death battle with his demons. Freshly out of retirement, and WAY worse for wear, the Dirty Water are finally back to settle the score
