Dirty Vertebrae are a rap/ska/grunge collective from North-West England whose socially aware and positively charged music is an infusion of hip-hop beats and rock riffs. Formed in 2012 in Northwich Cheshire, Dirty Vertebrae draw their influences from early Chilli's, Rage Against The Machine and Incubus. Fronted by rapper Ash P and vocalist Nicole, the band's signature sound consists of rapid-fire, conscious raps and beautiful, soaring melodies over a bed of crunching, uncompromising rock. Dirty Vertebrae perform across the U.K. and are a favourite on the festival scene, with repeat performances at Car-Fest, Bearded Theory, Beautiful Days and Deerstock; as well as regular airplay and support from independent online radio stations and BBC Introducing.
