Dirty Heads are setting the tone for summer with two new singles, “Better” and “Sound Boy Killa,” offering a deeper look into their upcoming album 7 Seas, arriving June 12 via Better Noise Music.
“Better” carries a message that feels especially timely. Rooted in optimism, the track reflects on navigating uncertainty while leaning into community and compassion. It’s a natural extension of the band’s sun-soaked, feel-good ethos thats grounded in real-world perspective.
Meanwhile, “Sound Boy Killa” flips the energy entirely. Drawing from UK garage and Jamaican DJ clash traditions, the track hits with a heavier bass presence and a more experimental edge. It’s Dirty Heads pushing their sound forward while still honoring the reggae and hip-hop influences that built their foundation.
The releases follow earlier singles like “Seven Seas” and “One of Those Days,” the latter currently climbing alternative radio, signaling strong momentum heading into the album cycle.
Beyond the music, the band continues to stay engaged with environmental efforts, recently partnering with 4ocean to help combat ocean plastic pollution, tying the 7 Seas release to Dirty Heads fbroader message of sustainability and awareness.
This summer, Dirty Heads will take the new material on the road for a major co-headlining tour with 311, alongside festival appearances and headline dates across the U.S.
More than two decades in, Dirty Heads continue to evolve without losing the spirit that made them a cornerstone of reggae-rock—balancing feel-good grooves with forward-thinking production and a message that resonates.
