Sydney based Alt Metal outfit Dirt City have just released their heart wrenching new single ‘Barely Human’, which premiered exclusively via The Point Music News. The powerful new single touches on the heartache of losing a child, and how grief coupled with anger turns you into something other than human. The band have also announced that they will playing a launch show at Burdekin Hotel on April 11 alongside Neon Sunset, NLA and The Blistered Minds.
Dirt City employ a synth-heavy, industrial-like futurism to their music rarely found in heavy rock. There are moments of ambience found beneath the drum-heavy breakdowns, thunderous riffage, and melodic vocals that give the listener moments to appreciate the true soul that makes Dirt City’s exposition of alternative metal especially captivating.
The band entered the studio in late 2024 to record a run of new singles set for release over the course of this year. The tracks were produced by Nathan Sheehy (DZ Deathrays, Birds of Tokyo) and mastered by Klaus Hill (PNAU, LDRU).
Dirt City recently released their blistering single ‘Scratched’, which premiered exclusively via AAA Backstage and received positive coverage from The Point Music News, HEAVY Mag, AMNplify, Good Call Live and Metal Roos. Dirt City are back again with ‘Barely Human’, available on all major streaming services.
“Dirt City carve out a unique space in alt-metal, infusing their heavy, drum-driven breakdowns and thunderous riffs with synth-heavy, industrial qualities. Beneath the chaos, moments of ambience shine through, adding a deeply emotive layer to their ferocious sound.”
