Dirrty Records Signs The Kennedy Kids

Dec. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- It was announced today that indie record label Dirrty Records has signed the punk quartet The Kennedy Kids. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, over the last two years, The Kennedy Kids have spent months in vans and dive bars across North America. Coming into existence in 2008, the band has established themselves as one of Oregon's best underground punk bands. Their self titled debut album is due for release in Spring 2012.

What began as a fledgling punk rock label in Los Angeles, Dirrty Records has blossomed into a full service, impressively fertile record company boasting an awesome roster of aggressive music. After recently relocating to South Carolina, Dirrty Records might have changed coasts, but hasn’t lost any of their gritty edge and commitment to help new artists reach fresh heights. With bands such as The Fades, The Slumps, Who is Jane Doe?, and Knuckle Buddies under their wing, this burgeoning label is set to explode.


From the gorgeous sun drenched coast of Los Angeles to the bustling city streets of London, Dirrty Records continues to attract a variety of groups to their already astounding list. Focusing on true punk rock, metal, and hardcore, they’ve established a growing reputation as one of the industry’s greatest and quickest moving labels around. If fast paced, in-your-face music is your particular cup of punk rock tea, Dirrty Records is ready and able to deliver the punch fans are searching for.


The label made their first mark on the music scene with a wildly popular cover of Jimi Hendrix’s legendary hit, 'Purple Haze'. The remake attracted hordes of media and radio attention, while receiving a coveted Grammy nomination. Headed by the dynamic founder Lunden De’Leon, Dirrty Records continues to flourish and sign new artists with an insatiable appetite for fresh, quality material. The label has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, Marie Claire, Upscale and She Magazine, among others, as they continue to pick up steam. Serving as a multiplatform label, Dirrty Records has launched a filmmaking arm, kicking off with the shockingly haunting horror flick, Stifle.

The future is enormously young and bright for Dirrty Records, so expect even more vibrant and seminal releases, along with upcoming films as their business continues to grow. The official website features audio clips, merchandise, and band links, as well as tour and contact information. Crank up the volume and play these bands loud, because it’s time to get Dirrty!
