Dirty Power is a relentless force in the modern hard rock scene, blending elements of alternative, metal, and punk into a hard hitting and focused sound. With one foot firmly rooted in the rebellious spirit of the past and the other pushing the boundaries of the future, this cross-border trio delivers explosive riffs and raw emotion in equal measure. Their sound is a collision of grooving power à la Rage Against the Machine, the gritty songcraft of Nirvana, and the mind-bending tones of progressive legends like Dream Theater and Satriani.

Founded in 2015 by guitarist and vocalist Brendan (DB), Dirty Power has been tearing up stages, studios and screens ever since. Powered by a rotating lineup of hard-hitting drummers and bassists from across the EU and UK, the band thrives on collaboration and creative experimentation. The latest EP, Gravitas, was recorded in a castle on the Southwest Irish coast—Brendan’s ancestral home—where whiskey and wild instincts fuelled their acoustic and most authentic work to date. Teaming up with engineer Tommy O’Sullivan (RTE, The Scratch), the EP was mixed by Ben Wanders (The Scratch, Cranberries) and mastered by Aidan Cunningham (The Scratch, Hermitage Green, Wheatus, Chloe Agnew).

Before Gravitas, Dirty Power dropped their 2020 EP Notions, a riff-driven, high-impact release that made waves despite the global shutdown. With a DIY ethic at its core, the band has always embraced independence, whether it’s in the studio or on tour. Their sound is a fierce blend of big grooves, intricate solos, and sing-along choruses—perfect for mosh pits and fist-pumping catharsis.

For fans of uncompromising rock, Dirty Power is a band that refuses to submit to adversity, always pushing for the next great riff and the next great show. Join the mailing list at dirty-power.com for first access to new tracks, behind-the-scenes content, and updates on what’s next.
