Dirty On Purpose Release 4 Free Songs For "Dead Volcanoes" EP

Following the success of their debut full length, Hallelujah Sirens, and their follow-up EP, Like Bees, Dirty on Purpose has released four exclusive, digital-only songs for their "Dead Volcanoes" EP on RCRDLBL.com.

The first single off this EP is "Leaving," which introduces slide guitar to the group's music for the first time ever. It's a somber tune about drummer/singer Doug Marvin's wife Annie Hart from Au Revoir Simone always leaving home for tour and the hardships of being apart from the one you love.

The second song, "Hard To Tell You," has singer/guitarist Joe Jurewicz singing to his daughter
Sophie, trying to explain the unexpected trips and falls that life can and will bring, warning and encouraging her to tackle reality and become her own strong person.

The third single, "The Thing About Getaways," was written when singer/drummer Doug Marvin was walking about the streets of Chicago, breathing in the spirit of the Windy City. There is an airy, poppy sensibility to the number that really draws listeners in.

Today, the fourth and final song, "Canned Fumes," on the EP is revealed! Singer/guitarist George Wilson sings on this track, which takes the band to a new level of songwriting -- the song beautifully builds and layers atmospherics until the whole arrangement swells with emotion. The foursome's sound has grown exponentially over the years, and the Dead Volcanoes EP truly achieves a maturation in the band's music.
