Following the release of their acclaimed debut album, Higher Power, Hamilton-based punk trio The Dirty Nil have revealed a brand new video for “Wrestle Yü To Husker Dü”.

Shot and directed by Ben Rispin and Lee Skinner, the footage was filmed on VHS video cameras at some of their local hometown shows and offers an intimate look into the relentless outfit that is The Dirty Nil.

Vocalist/Guitarist Luke Bentham said of the video, “12 broken video cameras + illegal smoke bombs in confined spaces = The Dirty Nil live experience, captured for you in glorious VHS format.”

The video serves as a preview of the band’s unhinged live shows, which The Dirty Nil will be taking worldwide this year including a forthcoming US tour and shows at SXSW 2016. Whether live or on record, theirs is a performance based on tension and cathartic release. Three friends unified by the common desire to create something vital, meaningful, and excruciatingly loud.
