The Dirty Heads - Driftin'

Feel like I’m a victim, I’m my own worst enemy.” Humpday is always made better with humor, and these guys are filled with youthful energy and amusement. They manage to capture an undisputed truth of a band who hang together making music, “they say it’s not a job but we practice like an athlete.” The flavors range all over the map, a fill of reggae, a side of soul, a dessert of pop, a sprinkling of oldskoolprincestyled80sraphiphop. Beats galore for dance galore. Shoutouts for Shine (“If you’ve come to be yourself – original – let it shine!”) & Knows That I (“love means pressure and pressure makes diamonds”). Excellent production – enjoyable as dance and as sheer listening pleasure. Dirty Heads
