Dirty Heads released their highly anticipated album Cabin By The Sea this week on Five

Cabin is currently sitting at #8 on iTunes' overall music chart and #4 on their alternative category. The album's lead single "Spread Too Thin," is quickly shaping up to be one of the biggest tunes of the season. Debuted by KROQ LA earlier this spring, the track is currently #14 on the Alternative chart with a cumulative audience of over 38 million listeners. The album features collaborations with Del the Funky Homosapien, KyMani Marley and Rome, as well as
Matisyahu with whom the band will launch a co-headline North American tour next month.

To celebrate the release of Cabin By The Sea and warmly welcome the first day of summer, the band teamed up with long time supporter KROQ as well as Monster
Energy Drink and Wahoo's Fish Taco for a free lunchtime concert at Dana Point's Doheny
State Beach yesterday. The band played to a packed crowd with proceeds from the sale of food/beverages going to benefit Doheny. Wahoo's Fish Taco has partnered with The
Dirty Heads on a promotion for the month of July, and will be announcing details soon.
The press is saying...
"Summer 2012 officially has its soundtrack." - Huffington Post
"The song that really struck a chord with me was "Spread Too Thin" because I think everyone can relate to being pulled in many directions every day and wanting to just slow down for a minute and this album allows you to take a break and do just that. Obviously this was intended to take my worries away and make everyone feel great. Cabin is the perfect summer album." - The DeadHub
"June 19 can't come soon enough. That date marks the long-awaited release of the The Dirty Heads' sophomore album, Cabin by the Sea, which has already spawned a radio hit (lead-off single "Spread Too Thin")." -
Orange County Register
"Every time I listen to Cabin by the Sea it takes me away from the daily grind and monotony." - Cincinnati City Beat
"The
Dirty Heads pack this album with over an hour's worth of funky reggae beats that definitely needs to be part of your soundtrack this summer." - Record Journal
"It's not easy to blend hip-hop with beach-minded reggae and rock, but don't tell that to the five members of The Dirty Heads. Since forming in Huntington Beach in 2003, the ensemble has championed a good vibes approach that has reached its zenith on the forthcoming Cabin By The Sea." - Desert Star Weekly
