Dirtblonde seek inspiration in the darker, more exciting side of rock’n’roll – the noise of The Jesus And Mary Chain; the intensity of PJ Harvey; the fresh-faced attitude of early NYC punk and buzzsaw guitars of Sonic Youth.
Their online-only debut single ‘The Hangmen’ got rave reviews and had Radio One airplay thanks to Steve Lamacq and Alan McGee. Martin Carr (Brave Captain/ Boo Radleys) is another fan, and made a remix of one of their songs. John Kennedy also played “The Hangmen” on XFM, and dubbed it “one of the loudest records of the year so far.”
The band played at the Carling Weekend Leeds Festival in 2006 and did mini-tour in New York, which included a gig at Death Disco NYC.
In 2009 Dirtblonde were named one of the British highlights at the prestigious South By Southwest festival, in Austin, Texas.
Dirtblonde supported acts such as Regina Spektor, The View, S.C.U.M., The 1990s and Calvin Johnson.
