The Dirty Clergy

With 2020 marking a decade into their musical careers The Dirty Clergy vacillates between shoegaze-esque ruminations on love and struggle and more straightforward garage numbers that surge into ecstatic cacophony all accented by eerily laconic vocals, Alabama's The Dirty Clergy (featuring vocalist/guitarist Brian Manasco, bassist Ky Carter and drummer Cody Moorehead) are looking to expand their already respectable discography with their upcoming full-length, the aptly titled In Waves.

The 12-song collection represents the band's second collaboration with producer Les Nuby (Verbena, Holiday Gunfire and co-owner of Ol' Elegante Studio in Birmingham), who had engineered the Clergy's previous album, 2016's Rattlesnake, a release which would go on to be nominated for "Indie/Alt Album of the Year' at the 2016 Independent Music Awards, get played on LA's legendary KROQ station and Alice Cooper's Nights with Alice Cooper, receive multiple accolades from AL.com and land the band two placements for the songs “Decades” and “Strange Love” on the tenth season of SHOWTIME's Shameless.

After having a couple of other singers in the tenure of the band, founder Manasco uses this latest record to give his own voice to the lyrics and melodies that he has crafted.
