Sydney’s Dirt City have emerged onto the scene with their debut single, Squelch, by reclaiming and reintroducing the industrial roughness absent in modern heavy rock. Squelch fearlessly embraces the grit, angst and dirt that defines Dirt City’s sound.
Produced by Nathan Sheehy (DZ Deathrays) and mastered by Grant Berry (Stand Atlantic, Fangz), Squelch showcases the band’s commitment to crafting a sonic space that pays homage to the industrial suffuse of Nine Inch Nails, the tribalism of White Zombie, and the sonic experimentation of Filter. Their debut single is a testament to Dirt City’s unapologetic approach, renouncing the overproduced climate prevalent in today’s bands and emphasising the palpable and human feeling that heavy music should evoke.
