The Dirty Clergy are a garage rock pop band hailing from Winfield, Alabama. Drawing comparisons to greats such as Alice Cooper, T. Rex, Muse and even Cream, the band’s genre-blending sound has its roots firmly planted in an era when rock and roll was at the forefront of music.
The Dirty Clergy surged onto the scene in 2011, when they recorded their first EP The Breakdown and released their debut full-length Revival through their self-published label Happy Daze Records. The band wasted no time returning to the studio in early 2012 to record their sophomore EP, Shake. This, along with Revival, set them out on the road in the U.S. for the majority of 2012.
Taking a short hiatus from touring, The Dirty Clergy returned in 2014 with the single “Shake, Shake.” The track gained national coverage from mtvU/MTV networks and AXS TV, along with airplay on several college and mainstream radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. This success landed them the title of 2014’s Rock Artist of the Year from fashion blog Glitter & Stilletos.
The Dirty Clergy’s upcoming second full-length album Rattlesnake displays the band’s evident ability to create a dynamic range of sound. With fervent vocals layering both harmonic hooks and gritty energy, a listen through Rattlesnake has something for everyone.
In a time where music is ruled by electronic, synth, and manufactured sounds, The Dirty Clergy is taking it upon themselves to remind you that rock and roll is still very much alive.
