Dirty Heads

L.A.'s Dirty Heads newest single "Rescure Me" is part of the forthcoming Midnight Control Sessions: Night 2 4-track EP set to drop on April 14th via Better Noise Music. 

Dirty Heads vocalist Jared Watson said, "Rescue Me is our ode to California and we thought it would be rad to flip a Red Hot Chili Peppers hook. Not only did they influence us but they are one of the most influential and defining bands ever to come out of cali. So it was a no brainer. It just felt right." 

The band will release a collection of EPs in 2023 featuring songs written and recorded during the Midnight Control era. In 2022 Dirty Heads released their eighth studio album Midnight Control The album featured 10 all-new songs, including their take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit "Life’s Been Good," "Heavy Water (feat. Common Kings)" and "Island Glow." 

Over 20 years ago, Dirty Heads formed when Dustin Bushnell (aka Duddy B) asked his friend, rapper Jared Watson (aka Dirty J), to collaborate on a project that would focus on positive vibes and infectious grooves. Watson added singing to his vocal skills, and with percussionist Jon Olazabal, an acoustic trio version of Dirty Heads began playing shows and building an audience.

In 2008, Dirty Heads released their debut album, Any Port In A Storm, with a deluxe edition following in 2010. The deluxe version featured their breakthrough #1 Alternative single "Lay Me Down" with special guest Rome Ramirez of Sublime with Rome. The band's other albums include: Cabin By The Sea (2012); Phantoms Of Summer (2013); Sound Of Change (2014); Dirty Heads (2016); Swim Team (2017); Super Moon (2019); The Best Of Dirty Heads (2021) and Midnight Control (2022).
