The Dirty Nil Embark on First US Headlining Tour Following co-bills with The Who, Against Me!, Juno “Breakthroughs” Headline in Chicago, LA, NYC, and more this Fall Listen to “Pain of Infinity” at Alternative Press: XX After pummeling through 350+ shows over the last three years, 2017 Juno Award “Breakthrough Group of the Year” winners The Dirty Nil embark on their first ever US headlining tour. The band will play tracks from their upcoming LP ‘Master Volume’ (out September 14th on Dine Alone Records) with a raw, kinetic, straight-up rock & roll energy that’s equal parts punk intensity and 80s-rock-god decadence.

In between, the band alternates between playful lyrics and power riffs (“Please, Please Me,” a ferocious punk track that’s sonically the opposite of its melodic 60s namesake, but shares the same raunchy subject matter) and topical issues like millennial numbness and substance. Listen to “Pain of Infinity,” which Alternative Press says, “XXX,” HERE When creating the classic horror, pop-art ‘Master Volume’ cover, designer/illustrator and longtime collaborator Christopher Blackwell of Providence, RI apparel/accessory brand Hungry Ghost Press said he “wanted to do something that felt a little bit gnarly for ‘Master Volume’ - kind of an ode to trash and metal bands that we all grew up on. The whole Dine Alone team have an awesome love and appreciation for vinyl, and the amount of time and energy they put into their releases is refreshing to see. Artwork is |

only part of the job- what really ties the album together is the packaging and how the listener can experience the record while listening to the music." Since they busted out of their quiet hometown of Dundas, Ontario, in 2011, The |
