Dirty Power Unveil “Said And Done” Single; Announce ‘Gravitas’ EP

International rock trio Dirty Power have today released “Said And Done,” the second of a three-part arc, across the original songs on Dirty Power’s forthcoming EP Gravitas, with remaining singles to be released 2023-24. Following on from “I Did My Time,” the track delivers a stripped-back, roots-driven and unplugged ‘industri-coustic’ approach, with an anime storyline video created for the release.

Inspired by Rodrigo y Gabriela’s guitar rhythms, mixed with steady ‘industri-coustic’ grooves on Rammstein’s “Los,” and based on the common underground between Rebels and Resistance movements throughout history, “Said and Done0” is about friends coming to each other’s rescue. When all is said and done, it’s how we helped each other out that matters.

Late 2023 to early 2024 will see the release of Dirty Power’s singles from the new EP Gravitas. The five tracks (three originals and two covers) are an ‘alternative acoustic rock & metal’ return to personal, cultural and musical roots, following the band’s previous hard-hitting EP – Notions (which was recorded in London).

Driven by the individual and collective circumstances before and during the Covid pandemic lockdowns, Gravitas is a chapter in Dirty Power’s (otherwise heavy and distorted rock) music, akin to Nirvana’s Unplugged In New York or Metallica’s S&M, as more of an intimate and subtle expression of potent and redemptive subjects – those life lessons that come from the disillusionment of notions; the impact of being confronted with, and ultimately assimilating gravitas.

Though not recorded in front of a live audience, Gravitas was recorded live in the band frontman’s pirate ancestor’s castle in Baltimore on the South-West coast of Ireland. That was made possible by bringing onboard recording-, mixing- and mastering-engineers who all had worked recently with the most exciting band to come out of Ireland since Thin Lizzy – The Scratch. That audio production, combined with live filming of the performances and behind-the-scenes footage by the cameraman who filmed The Rubber Bandits’ “Horse Outside,” made for a complete, once-in-a-lifetime capturing of this badly-needed return to roots and reclaiming of perspective during that difficult time.

The thematic story arc across the three original tracks is further expressed in the videos, with original anime having been made specially, to convey the feelings with a comfort and familiarity similar to watching Saturday morning cartoons.
