Debut album release planned for 7th September 2011!

We’re almost there. The mixes are in their final stages, ready to hit the mastering studio in early June. It’s been a wild ride since we first entered Metro Studios back in February 2010. After laying down the drum tracks in just two days, much still had to be written, rewritten, arranged and rearranged before the songs crystalized into what we feel are now the strongest foundations of this band. This is why creating a sonic experience that will reflect the vastness of these foundations is very important to us. And we’re very happy with the way everything sounds thus far. We can’t wait to show it.

This is why we will be releasing a new single in on 3rd June 2011. It will be available as a free digital download through our website, streamed versions will follow suit across all your favorite social networking sites. Be sure to check it out, it’s probably one the darkest and heaviest songs on the record.

In the meantime, we will be releasing more information about the album, including cover art, track names, studio diaries & more!

Stay tuned. Keep music aLIVE.

8th place at ILA2011!

DSW nation!

We’re still piecing ourselves together after yesterday’s gig at Maifest in beautiful Vienna, Austria. With the help from our friends who drove all the way to Vienna to see us, we made it to 8th place at the International live award. We won the Slovenian Live Award for being the best Slovenian band in the contest and Rok got to take home the killer stage bass rig, provided by the kind people from TC Electronic! Rock’n’roll baby!! Photos from the event will be coming soon.

So thanks to everyone, and we hope to see more of you next monday @ Majske igre 2011!!

Dirtswitch wins the Slovenian Live award 2011!

Studio update & new gig confirmed!

DSW nation!

We’ve been really busy in the studio lately, wrapping up some of the more moody songs for the album. One of these called ‘Innocence’ really adds a sense of intimacy, ultimately painting the whole record darker and taking our sound to a whole new level. With only 3 tracks left in the mixing process, we’re steadily climbing towards the release, planned for late May 2011. It’s been a long journey.

We’re also confirmed to play at our nation’s capital student festival, Majske igre 2011, ready to tear the stage on 09.05.2011, so come get some.

Stay tuned for more updates and galleries, coming soon!

The voting for ILA2011 has begun!

The competition is underway!


We are one of the 10 lucky finalists of the International Live Award 2011. Every year, hunderds of bands from more than 5 European countries display their stage-tearing prowess on some of Europe’s best concert locations. The finals of the ILA2011 will be held on 01.05.2011 at Wiener Prater, Austria.

With less than one month until D-day, the voting for the running-order of the ILA2011 finalists has begun. And we need your help. The festival running-order is determined by the voters – that’s you. The band with the most votes gets the best slot – right before the headliners of the Prater Maifest!

And we want that slot.

So head over to http://vote.planet.tt and help us show that rock’n’roll can be heavier and louder. Every vote counts, so remember to tell your friends, family, office, newsgroup, store clerk, insurance agent about this and keep music aLIVE!
