Hamilton, Ontario’s The Dirty Nil follow up their recently released album, ‘The Lash’, with a new live record ‘Live At The Dine Alone Store’. Featuring 13 tracks that span the band’s discography, the LP features The Dirty Nil in their element.
Taken from ‘The Lash’, “Fail In Time” is the first cut to be spotlighted from the session. A perfect example of the album’s stripped down, black and white approach, “Fail In Time” is raw, loud and refreshingly bleak.
“We played more shows this year than any other, by far,” The Dirty Nil elaborates. “2025 was a blur, but this show stands out as the day we got to celebrate ‘The Lash’ with our friends, family and fans. We had some of our favourite local bands play and it nearly brought us to tears seeing all the work that Dine Alone had put into NIL ifying their headquarters in our honour. The Lash themed cookies were delicious.”
On their fifth album ‘The Lash’, the Nil stripped it all back with a brutally austere approach, bringing in up and coming local engineer Vince Solivari instead of returning to longtime producer John Goodmanson.
