Our Top 10 Dirty Nil songs list looks at the music of a good old fashioned straight ahead rock and roll band with a grunge feel and very big sense of humor. If you have never heard of this band and you like great rock and roll music with passion energy and an original kick, you might really dig The Dirty Nil. The group is a relatively new band formed in Dundas/Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The group released their debut album in 2016 entitled Higher Power. The Dirty Nil have released two more albums as of this writing. Their second was released in 2018 titled Master Volume. Their most recent just issued in 2021 was elegantly called F**k Art. That one will definitely not be on display at your local Walmart. But hey isn’t that what rock and roll is all about anyways?

# 10 – Zombie Eyed

We open up our top 10 Dirty Nil Songs list with the rocking down and dirty song Zombie Eyed.The band sounds like a cross between Nirvana and Weezer on this killer song. Which in many ways is an understatement if you have seen the censored video. The song Zombie Eyed was released on the band’s first album entitled Higher Power. The album was released in 2016. The album featured Luke Bentham on lead vocals and guitars, David Nardi on bass and vocals and Kyle Fischer on drums.

# 9 – Elvis 77

Well there is nothing like a compilation of weird home movies that come across like an episode of Viva La Bam in putting together a music video. Yet that’s exactly what Dirty Nil did when producing the video for the great song “Elvis 77.” This grand song was released on their third studio album released in 2021. There was a slightly different lineup of musicians on the group’s third album as the record featured Luke Bentham on guitar and vocals, Kyle Fisher on drums and Ross Miller on bass.

# 8 – Christmas at My House

In the number eight spot on our top 10 Dirty Nil Songs list we present the song entitled “Christmas at My House” There is nothing like a holiday songs with a raging guitar line to get you in a festive mood. We actually really dig the guitar riff that fuels this song. The guitar solo is also a nice touch to knock over that Christmas Tree. Yeah this one will go over well. The Dirty Nil’s splendid Christmas song was released in 2019.

# 7 – Surrender

In the number seven position on our top 10 Dirty Nil Songs list is the song entitled “Surrender.” Yes we knew you were wondering if this may be the same song as the legendary Cheap Trick classic song. Well yes my friends it most certainly is. The band’s remake of the Cheap Trick songs doesn’t really roam too far from the original version in really any shape or form. The group’s spirit in the performance is what makes this new version a lot of fun to listen to. They can’t match the original Robin Zander vocal, but the guitar work is pretty good and they add their own little touch at the end.

# 6 – Pain of Infinity

Landing in the number six spot on our top 10 The Dirty Nil songs list we present the song “Pain of Infinity.” There is just something about this band that we really love. It’s some sort of organic feel and groove that reaches beyond the typical punk rock pop bands of the 21st century. You can hear it in the vocals and guitars right at this fantastic songs start. It’s the grunge feel and attitude that this band has that makes them so genuine. The song “Pain Of Infinity,” was released on the band’s second album entuited Master Volume.

# 5 – No Weaknesses

At the halfway point on our top 10 Dirty Nil songs list is the cooking song entitled “No Weaknesses” The beginning of this song reminds me of Queen’s Tie Your Mother Down, although as soon as the vocals comes in that comparison goes right out the rock and roll barn doors. This just becomes a loud in your face dirty rock and roll jam. Very cool! The song was issued on the album entitled Higher Power. The album was released in 2016. It was the first and only single released from the album.

# 4 – Blunt Force Concussion

At the number four spot on our top 10 Dirty Nil songs list we present the song entitled ”Blunt Force Concussion.” This is one of their more commercial sounding songs. The song was released in 2020. It’s one of only two songs the band has released that have charted. The song was a hit on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay Charts peaking at number thirty four.

# 3 – Bathed In Light

Moving along on our top 10 Dirty Nil songs list we present the song entitled “Bathed In Light.” The band sounds so good on this song. They sound less like Nirvana and more like The Replacements on this killer track. The song was released on the album entitled Master Volume. The album was released in 2018. It was the first single released from the album. The song “Bathed In Light,” was composed by Luke Bentham Ross Miller and Kyle Fisher.

# 2 – Doom Boy

With a somewhat Metallica sounding intro the band rocks hard on another great cut called “Doom Boy.” It’s interesting to hear the difference between the heavy metal guitar riffs in between the verses and the somewhat Blink 182 style vocals. This group sounds so different all the time. You never know what your going to get, but you know it’s always going to be genuine and freaking great! The song Doom Boy was released in 2020. It was issued as the opening track on their most recent album F**k Art.

# 1 – That’s What Heaven Feels Like
