The Dirt are an Anglo-Japanese psych rock duo based in the United Kingdom, forging a distinctive path with mesmerising sonic textures and raw, immersive live energy. Known for their inventive approach within the psych rock sphere, The Dirt have built a reputation for captivating audiences and bringing a unique cross-cultural sensibility to their performances.
