DIRTY
WORD
LEEDS, ENGLAND
The Manifesto
Formed from the ashes of cult bands in the Leeds alternative scene, Dirty Word comes back kicking and screaming, with visceral anthemic bangers. Blending heavy grunge, punchy alternative rock, and euphoric emo sounds, they create something profound and heartfelt.
Setlist Highlights
“OXYGEN”
The blistering harbinger track, setting a brooding tone for what’s to follow.
“FALL INTO PACE”
A bittersweet reminiscing subject set to a bounceable uptempo alternative rock background.
“CATFOOD”
Midwest-Emo adjacent; combines catchy lead lines and chantable hooks to bring the energy.
“LILIES”
The final catharsis, bringing the set to a noisy, emotional head.
