The Dirty Nil

"Wrestle Yü to Husker Dü" (video)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Mar 10, 2016

Raucous Hamilton indie rockers the Dirty Nil recently delivered their debut LP Higher Power, but they're not quite ready to sit back and recharge just yet. Before heading out on an extensive string of North American and European tour dates, the group have shared a brand new video for the excellently titled "Wrestle Yü to Husker Dü."
 
The clip was directed by Ben Rispin and Lee Skinner, and captures — on VHS no less — what it would be like to hang with the band, 12 broken video cameras and illegal smoke bombs in confined spaces. Believe it or not, it's a lot more fun than it sounds.
 
Higher Power is out now on Dine Alone Records. Check out the Dirty Nil's upcoming tour dates below, and keep scrolling to watch the gritty, unglamorous clip for "Wrestle Yü to Husker Dü."
