Down & Dirty With ISHAN From DIRT CITY

Down & Dirty With ISHAN From DIRT CITY

Interview by Kris Peters
Remember when rock music was pure and real?
Before the advent of technology and seemingly magical remedies to remove natural deficiencies in the studio using an invisible golden paintbrush to mask the truth, there was a time where what you recorded stayed recorded, warts and all.
While there is no questioning it has helped musicians the world over create and achieve their own perfect sound you still can't help but feel - even in only a small way - a little bit cheated, especially when it comes to the live arena.
Sydney rock outfit Dirt City subscribe to this ancient mythology of keeping it real and have today released their debut self titled album to prove it.
HEAVY spoke with guitarist Ishan on the eve of release day to find out more.
"This EP has been around for a little while now," he began. "Since pre COVID, and even a couple of years before then, we started writing the riffs and getting all the vocals down so we've been sitting on it for ages and wondering what everyone is going to think of it and how we're going to release it. We've lived with these songs for a long time now so we are excited to just get it out there and excited to play soon and really get things happening."
In the full interview, Ishan talks more about what to expect from the EP, the two singles released and why the band chose them to introduce their music to the world, what sorts of things they discussed as a band going into their debut release, pushing musical boundaries, the use of Middle Eastern mysticism and where it comes from, touring plans and more.
