Los Angeles, CA – September 26, 2014 – Dirty Heads have released of a brand new music video for the song “Silence” from their new album Sound of Change. The video made its premiere exclusively at Yahoo! Music and is now online. While on tour this summer, “Silence” quickly became a live favorite for both fans and the band alike. The video was quickly filmed during a break in their summer tour schedule as a thank you to fans. Dirty Heads will kick off the fall and winter legs of their North American and European tour in October with the first series of headlining shows taking place in their home state of California, supporting the release of their new studio albumSound of Change. Long-time friend, collaborator and producer, Rome, will serve as support act. For up-to-date information visit the band online at www.dirtyheads.com.
“‘Silence’ is probably my favorite song on the album,” said singer Jared Watson. “There’s just something about it. That song, to me, is just so big and nasty and dark and badass…I just love it. It gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. The whole idea behind it is that the ‘silence is deafening.’ Silence is a very, very powerful thing.”
Recently, Dirty Heads debuted two new lyric videos for the tracks “Burn Slow” (feat. Tech N9ne)and “Medusa” (feat. Ward 21) at CraveOnline. The videos are now viewable at YouTube.
Dirty Heads released their fourth full-length studio album titled Sound of Change. Led by the sunny single “My Sweet Summer,” an inescapable Top 5 hit at alternative radio, the album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Rock Albums charts, while topping the Independent Albums and Alternative Albums charts. Aptly described as an expansion of sound, the album features a range of tracks varying from club bangers to rap, to pop hits, all while maintaining their feel good vibe. Currently, “My Sweet Summer” hangs atop the alternative radio charts at #4, while the official video has racked up more than 1,000,000 views online.
