Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Dirty On Purpose

This spring Brooklyn shoegazers Dirty On Purpose will finally get around to issuing its debut full-length Hallelujah Sirens. The four-year-old quartet's set will hit racks in May on North Street. The label also issued the band's Sleep Late For A Better Tomorrow EP, about which we opined on behalf of Junkmedia that it recalls "the work of such touchstone shoegazer acts as Lush or Ride, every number on Sleep Late has big shimmering guitars, heartfelt vocals (though average lyrics) and melodies galore." We've since warmed up to the band a bit more, thanks to a relevant post or two over at Two And 1/2 Pounds Of Bacon. Dirty On Purpose is slated to spend much of March in the van.
