Canadian trio THE DIRTY NIL second full-length release spits, kicks and scratches Rock ‘N’ Roll’s battle-hardened soul. Opener ‘That’s What Heaven Feels Like’ has a distorted melody that shuffles into the skull with disarming ease. ‘Bathed In Light’ has a slurry Glam Rock Grungy undercurrent that’s sticky to the touch before an Oasis-ish riff strides center stage on ‘Pain Of Infinity’ while the vocals remain laconic and emotionally torn. A petrol powered punk ‘Please, Please Me’ zooms past with its middle finger proudly sticking out the passenger window before the tempo drops on the dirty tap dripping ‘Auf Wiedersehen’. ‘Always High’ stutters with a stop-start spat out, sobering message while ‘Smoking Is magic’ has Country Rock texture which blends and bends with the band’s chest beating, shin kicking message. The beautiful Motel is celebrated on ‘Super 18’ with extra bouncing bed bugs and melting ice creams. This habit will kill you if you don’t stop intervention on ‘I Don’t Want That Phone Call’ peels back the fear scab of a friend dying before album closer ‘Evil Side’ plods lonelily towards the sunset with its guitar slung over it’s slouched shoulders. A blindingsidingly decent release that digs its heels in and refuses to leave.
