Emerging onto the Southern California music scene with a sound as original
as the band members themselves, The Dirty Heads' blend of Hip-Hop, Alternative-Rock
and vintage Reggae rips through the sonic surf with bold beats, fun rhythms
and the relaxed vibe of feel-good lyrics.
Rooted in the Orange County community of Huntington Beach, California
USA, founding band members lead singer Jared Watson and guitarist + vocalist
Dustin Bushnell met in 1996 while in high school, embarking on a friendship
based on music, as well as their shared passion for surfing, skating and
the endless party of the laid-back SoCal lifestyle.
While recording their first album, the two have collaborated with notable
musicians such as Billy Preston, A
Perfect Circle drummer Josh Freese and veteran session percussionist
Alex Acuña, whose A-list musician resume includes Peter Gabriel
and Jackson Browne, to name only
a few. To complete The Dirty Heads' sound, Watson and Bushnell added bassist
David Foral, percussionist Jon Olazabal and drummer Matt Ochoa.
The band's highly-anticipated first full-length album, "Any Port
In A Storm" was released on Executive Music Group, through Fontana,
in September 2008. This debut features 14 tracks that are reminiscent
of the upbeat, sun-soaked Southern California party energy; the first
single was the optimistic "Stand Tall".
EMG released an expanded, special edition of "Any Port In A Storm"
in February 2010, the 23-track set features the Alternative Rock top 40
hit single "Lay Me Down", featuring Rome Ramirez.
