“Hooray Hooray, it’s DIRT BOX Day!”comes the chant from DIRT BOX DISCO fans
every August at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool. It’s also been
heard at more than 300 gigs up and down the country. With a new label
and new management behind the release – DIRT BOX DISCO are now
officially a ‘big-noise’ with their earworm-like punk rock punchlines.
HOORAY! HOORAY! features
the band’s twelve favourite tracks, freshly
polished by Grandmaster Howie Weinberg (worked with the Beastie Boys,
Rammstein, Arctic Monkeys, Metallica, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Mars Volta, U2 and more). The single “My Life is Shit” is the throbbing
anthem of the five costumed punk rockers. A song written from the gut
that along with the other tracks on Hooray! Hooray! has built a loyal
and passionate fan base. “My Life is Shit” (single online release:
14.09.2018 including bonus track and an interactive tribute to their
fans-video) is just one of many catchy tunes. DIRT BOX DISCO fans sing
this song by heart loudly and compete with WEAB, the rabble-rousing
front man. Nothing is serious in the Dirt Box world, the band cock a
snook at spotty teenage obsessives, naturally keeping their young adults
energy.

The band plays about 40 gigs a year in sold-out clubs
and halls all over the UK. Year by year they are amongst the heroes for
the thousands of spectators on Rebellion festival in Blackpool. The band
is a five-pronged phenomenon. Behind the crazily costumed combo stand
two brothers who do everything: writing, composing songs, recording
demos, recording CDs, distributing CDs, and making videos. PR can never
do them justice - seeing is not believing. It’s 2010 - a punk-party mood
and a single rehearsal preps their first appearance in a pub. (Spunk
Volcano and Brother Number 1: “After that show a member of the audience
asked us if we wanted to perform at his party. I thought he wanted to
fool me.”). DIRT BOX DISCO have since released six CDs (the last one in
April this year), an EP and a Christmas single, which have together sold
more than 15,000 copies. In other words, a freight trainload full of
punk rock hits, full of mad rhythm guitar riffs, kicking drums and
unique vocals. Perfect, compact punk songs that are the antidote to
everyday, pre-Brexit drudgery. Strangely (!), just one of their 6 CDs
has found it’s way into official stores. DIRT BOX DISCO prefer to
connect via social media posts and concert sales. “Why should we be
interested in distribution of CDs? We just wanted to play. On stage and
in our little studio”, says Maff Fazzo (Brother Number 2). The energy
level of the two brothers is galactic, they have another five (!!!) CDs
waiting to be recorded.

DIRT BOX DISCO have now played all the O2
clubs in the UK as well as several sold-out gigs at the legendary 100
Club in London. and nothing will change: although their fame is rising
minute by minute the two brothers will just continue rehearsing and
creating new songs in a little garage in their home town Swadlincote.
