Drawing from rock, blues, jazz, and contemporary influences, Dirty Bird is one of those bands that is hard to pigeon hole into any particular genre. Forget your preconceived notions. This band is like nothing else you've ever heard before. They stake out new musical territory, and compel the listener to complete the journey of the song. With most bands, the vocals are out in front, and the instrumentation is relegated to a supporting role. With Dirty Bird, powerful and edgy vocals share the spotlight with intricate and aggressive guitar arrangements. Vocals that reach inside, and rip your heart out, and rhythms that start in a safe, familiar place, and lead you to surprise destinations, with skill and precise delivery. The lyrics tell a story, and cling to the heart. Inspiring images and feelings, much like the ones in our own souls, that are hard to articulate. Dirty Bird is made up of real musicians who carry forward sounds that they have lived and felt. You could call them blues, or you could call them rock. You can call them anything you want. I call them the newest and freshest sound in the rising music scene.
