Dirty Heads are a Southern California band known for blending reggae, hip hop, alternative rock and laid-back pop into a distinctive genre-crossing sound. Formed in Huntington Beach in the early 2000s, the group grew from the partnership between vocalists Jared Watson and Dustin Bushnell before developing into a full band. Their music combines reggae rhythms, melodic hooks, rap vocals and rock instrumentation, creating a sound that draws clear inspiration from California's reggae-rock tradition while maintaining its own identity.

Essential Dirty Heads Albums on Vinyl
Any Port in a Storm (2008) – Dirty Heads' debut studio album established their combination of reggae, rock and hip hop. Featuring Stand Tall and, on the expanded edition, Lay Me Down featuring Rome Ramirez, the album introduced the relaxed grooves, vocal interplay and California influences that became central to their sound.
Cabin by the Sea (2012) – The band's second studio album develops their reggae-rock foundations with a warmer, melodic approach. Featuring Spread Too Thin and the title track Cabin by the Sea, it captures the easygoing side of the Dirty Heads sound while retaining their hip hop and alternative influences.
Sound of Change (2014) – A broader, more experimental album that pushes beyond the band's reggae-rock beginnings into alternative, electronic and hip hop territory. Featuring My Sweet Summer and the title track Sound of Change, the record marked an important expansion of the group's sound.
7 Seas (2026) – Dirty Heads' ninth studio album brings together many of the styles explored throughout their career, moving between reggae, hip hop, rock and melodic pop. Featuring Seven Seas and One of Those Days, the album continues the band's genre-blending approach more than two decades after their formation.
