The press is saying:

“Summer 2012 officially has its soundtrack.” – Huffington Post

" Cabin is the perfect summer album." – The DeadHub

"June 19 can't come soon enough. That date marks the long-awaited release of the The Dirty Heads’ sophomore album, Cabin by the Sea, which has already spawned a radio hit (lead-off single "Spread Too Thin")." – Orange County Register

"Every time I listen to Cabin by the Sea it takes me away from the daily grind and monotony." – Cincinnati City Beat

“The Dirty Heads pack this album with over an hour’s worth of funky reggae beats that definitely needs to be part of your soundtrack this summer.” – Record Journal

"It’s not easy to blend hip-hop with beach-minded reggae and rock, but don’t tell that to the five members of The Dirty Heads. Since forming in Huntington Beach in 2003, the ensemble has championed a good vibes approach that has reached its zenith on the forthcoming Cabin By The Sea.” - Desert Star Weekly

Formed in 2003 out of Huntington Beach, CA, The Dirty Heads combine an intriguing mix of hip-hop, reggae and alternative rock with a sunny California swagger.  The band released their debut album, Any Port In A Storm in September of 2008, which features the hit track “Lay Me Down,” a song that spent eleven weeks at #1 on the Billboard alternative chart, more than any single that year by any other artist.  It is an RIAA certified gold single. Rolling Stone touted the ‘Heads as one of the year’s best new bands and they were among the first bands featured on YouTube's Raw Session. The band most recently performed at KROQ’s sold out 20^th Annual Weenie Roast y Fiesta in Los Angeles, CA on Cinco de Mayo, which also featured Coldplay, Incubus, Group Love and others.
