Having introduced audiences to their own brand of unapologetic Punk and Pub Rock with a string of releases since 2023, Melbourne’s Dirt Road Wave have today released their blistering self-titled
album through Golden Robot Records. A no-holds-barred collection of hard-hitting tracks shaped by late night jams out the back of the local horse racing track, the album encapsulates the best of modern Australian Rock; loud, tenacious, socially conscious and full of good humour. At the heart of the album is a distinct voice. Telling stories rooted in social observation, personal resilience, and the absurdity of modern life, Dirt Road Wave is equal parts catharsis and commentary set to the backdrop of driving rhythms, razor-sharp guitars, and punchy vocals, it’s a sound as raucous as it is reflective. Dirt Road Wave‘s self titled album is now available through streaming platforms here and on vinyl via Bandcamp.

Fuelled by the spirit of pioneers like The Clash, MC5, and The Saints, and contemporary acts like Bad Dreems and Amyl & The Sniffers, Dirt Road Wave channel the energy of their influences while carving their own urgent and purposeful path. They not only feel the musical lineage to these acts, but sadly recognise that a lot of the issues these bands were taking aim at 40 or 50 years ago are still relevant today, and indeed form a large part of Dirt Road Wave’s lyrical focus and intent. Recorded by Andy Simpson (Full Tone Generator) at Singing Bird Studios, the album crackles with his signature brand of raw, live-wire energy.
