The Dirty Nil hail from Hamilton, Ontario. The group won the Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 2017.  The band consists of singer and guitarist Luke Bentham, bassist Ross Miller, and drummer Kyle Fisher. The band formed while Bentham and Fisher were in high school, in 2006. Their 2001 debut single, “Fuckin’ Up Young”, took the internet by storm.
