It's time to rock and roll with some of our neighbours to the north. The Dirty Nil are loud and proud, straight out of Hamilton, Ontario with a game plan to kick arse and chew bubblegum. It's taken them from high school burnouts to touring the world with the likes of Alexisonfire and Billy Talent, and a killer live reputation to boot. While guitarist/vocalist Luke Bentham and drummer Kyle Fisher were taking in the massive surrounds of the Hordern Pavilion, just hours before opening for the aforementioned Alexisonfire, they took a half-hour of power to speak about their upbringing, making it in America and playing 'til you bleed.

The Dirty Nil's debut album, Higher Power, is out now.
