The Dirty Nil have little regard for the potential to make music that changes the world. Their only allegiance is to a big, loud tune. Art says something. For the Dirty Nil, this isn't art. It's rock'n'roll.
A little bit silly, heavy on riffs and with its tongue firmly pressed into its cheek, ‘Fuck Art’ is a welcome distraction to the aftermath of 2020 and whatever 2021’s clean up job will be.
The Dirty Nil relive those innocent times when callow rock’n’rollers made noise designed to drive grown-ups batshit.
In the end, cranked up distortion levels and subgenre-melding shreddage collide to let the good times rock ‘n’ roll on The Dirty Nil’s ultra-fun, riff-roaring and somewhat—extra emphasis on the “somewhat”—emotionally intelligent Fuck Art.
Fuck Art is an enjoyable blast, but what these songs are begging for is a crowd.
