Description
Dirty Blonde are the hotly-tipped blonde-bombshell, Manchester alt-rock band fronted by Ailis Mackay and Hayley Tait, on this debut vinyl release they bring together their first 2 EPs in one release.
The duo burst onto the Manchester music scene in 2023 with their debut EP Favourite Record (Side B), earning them a reputation for punchy guitar work, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful live performances. Drawing on varied influences from indie, pop and classic rock, the duo bring a fresh yet nostalgic take on alt-rock.
On their latest EP Looking For Trouble (Side A), Dirty Blonde prove that authenticity is their signature sound. Tracks like 'Adore Me?' and 'Polly' carry a sly charm, serving as the "nicer cousins" to the fierce anthems 'Checkmate' and 'Rush', while previous single 'Northern Twang' stands as the powerful matriarch anchoring it all. Writing the EP was more than just a creative process; it was cathartic, offering a rare moment of reflection. Dirty Blonde reminds us that women in rock aren't just part of the scene, they're redefining it.
