Description

On today’s episode of The Radical Fabulatorium, I welcome Luke Bentham, frontman and guitarist of @TheDirtyNil.


We talk about the beautiful struggle of life on tour, their new album The Lash, Luke’s evolving vocal and songwriting process, and why The Dirty Nil continues to retain full control over their music rights.


We also get into the inspiration behind “Spider Dream,” the stripped-down recording style of The Lash, how singing lessons, push-ups, and “one-day-at-a-time” thinking help Luke stay grounded, and the band’s DIY mindset, love for covers, and embrace of imperfection in rock and roll.
