Dirty North are the Manchester music mob who prefer to casually skank their way to glory rather than swagger with misguided confidence. A true hybrid-culture-clash, mixing reggae, hip hop and punk influences, this eclectic trio bring to mind The Specials jamming with Bob Marley And The Wailers, via a Manchester council estate. Dirty North have even coined a special term to describe their love for their home town. “We like to call our music Wythenshawe Dub,” says Carl.
