Taken from the band’s forthcoming album of the same name, ‘Forever High’ is the latest release from local rock and rollers Dirty Pagans.
A vibrant masterclass in ‘70s psych rock, ‘Forever High’ combines brain-rattling riffs with soaring vocals, resulting in a ball-busting kick of endorphin releasing hard rock energy.
Fresh from supporting the legendary Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple on his 2024 Aussie tour, Dirty Pagans, who have added powerhouse drummer Gareth Briggs to their lineup, can’t wait to share Forever High with fans.
“It’s been a labour of love, and now through the thick billowing smoke, Forever High is ready to rattle some loins,” says vocalist Matty Dee.
“We road tested these songs on tour with Glenn Hughes last year and got an excellent response. Fans are loving our blend of heavy riffs, soaring vocals and tongue-in-cheek humour - Blaze up kings and queens, Forever High is here!”
Dirty Pagans have locked in a monster album launch show at Jive on June 28 with support coming from Queensland sleaze lords Snake Bite Whiskey, doom darlings Rocky’s Pride & Joy and psych-rockers The Coogees.
