Dirty Heads just have it! What is it? An incredible amount of musical talent, a passion to release amazing music, and incredible songwriting chops. The vibes are so on point in the band’s new album “Midnight Control”. Dirty Heads are truly a genre blending band bringing together the best of reggae, hip hop, rock and pop.

Take the album’s first tack “Island Glow” as an example. It immediately catches your attention with the impressive flow, lyrics and hip hop style beat. I love the way Dirty Heads changes up their style in this song with the rap style verses and reggae rock singing chorus.

“Heavy Waters” is a super catchy song and Dirty Heads’ collaboration with Common Kings is awesome. The song has another near perfect beat and they layer in some nice guitar during the chorus. It’s not easy marrying reggae, hip hop and rock but Dirty Heads make it look and sound easy.

Dirty Heads slow down the pace and celebrate life in the stellar jam “Life’s Been Good”. This song is classic Dirty Heads and is one that I almost guarantee you’ll be singing along to by the second verse!
