The band also released the new track “Heavy Water,” featuring Grammy-nominated band Common Kings. “Heavy Water”, along with a music video featuring live shots from the current Dirty Heads Let’s Get It Kraken Summer tour.
Lead singer Jared Watson said:
’Heavy Water’ is a song about empowerment.
Being in the water constantly from a young age, we know the power of the ocean – there is nothing more powerful or uncontrollable. ‘Heavy water’ is a metaphor for life because when life throws something at you that’s unforeseen and uncontrollable, you will be ready for it and not let it overtake you. YOU are the heavy water and mother f*ckers better get out of your way because you are on a mission, and nothing is stopping you. Either way, you got this.
“Heavy Water” is the 2nd release off the band’s highly anticipated new album Midnight Control, following the single “Life’s Been Good,” the band’s take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit. Midnight Control is available on August 26th.
