An underground surf rock act.
Dirty Mops are dirty at their core, as they grew up listening to the Sonics, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine and other distorted sounds. But someday they fell in love with the primitive surf-beat, bell-tone guitars and dripping spring reverb sounds of the surf godfathers Dick Dale, the Ventures and the Surfaris. After numerous shows in dirty locations and several lineup changes, their sound and energy were sculpted to a raw and intense vibration when the drummer Säsch and bass guitar player Luther Lebtag joined guitarist and songwriter Dgee in 2026. They created a unique style, stubbornly remaining unconventional and underground. This is Dirty Mops! An energetic mix of surf, garage, trash and psychedelia. They love to groove, their energy is vigorous, their lyrics are caustic and their shows sweaty. Dirty Mops releases Too Dirty to Care, digital album, 2023 (self-released) Lost Avatar, digital EP, 2024 (self-released) Berlin Trap, digital EP, 2024 (self-released) Return, digital maxi-single, 2025 (self-released)
