Dirty Heads' Album Cover

Their highly anticipated first full-length album Any Port in the Storm was released to rave reviews back in September of ’08. The album reflects mature song-writing with a cool blend of hip-hop and classic reggae. It’s a hard-hitting original that is somehow immediately comfortable.

“We want to be positive and entertain,” says Dirty Heads vocalist Jared Watson. “We just want to make you feel good.”

Those feel-good roots of the Dirty Heads are grounded in the Orange County community of Huntington Beach. Founded nearly a decade ago by Watson and guitarist/vocalist Dustin Bushnell, the Dirty Heads humble beginnings feature too many late night sessions in the garage with nothing but a four-track recorder and an abundance of great ideas.

The duo eventually teamed up with percussionist Jon Olazabal and drummer Matt Ochoa, which rounded out the band. They moved out of the garage and upgraded their four-track recorder. Their sound is reminiscent of Sublime and the Beastie Boys, but it’s totally their own.

“Ever since we met when we were 14, all we talked about was getting signed and doing this,” says Watson. “And that’s it.”
