Dirty Hit

Formed in 2014 as Creek, when Drummer Ciara Doran and Singer/Guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie met whilst attending BIMM Manchester; changing the band name to Pale Waves in 2016. The band's early demos led to them signing with Dirty Hit Records.
Pale Waves released their first single for Dirty Hit called "There's a Honey" on 21 April 2017. They played a sold out show at Madison Square Garden supporting The 1975 on their North American tour. With catchy singles like "Television Romance" and "New Years Eve," Pale Waves quickly gained recognition in the music industry.
Their unique sound, characterized by dreamy pop melodies and introspective lyrics, has captured the attention of fans worldwide. Led by lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie's captivating vocals, Pale Waves continues to release music that resonates with listeners. Don't miss out on experiencing their infectious energy and heartfelt performances.

Dirty Hit is an independent label formed in 2009 by Jamie Oborne, Brian Smith and ex-professional footballer, Ugo Ehiogu. Founded through a desire to develop and nurture homegrown artists.

Acclaimed Manchester-based pop-rock outfit Pale Waves burst onto the scene back in 2018 with the runaway success of their debut album My Mind Makes Noises. Two top five albums later and an outpouring of support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Apple Music, Spotify, NME, and more, the band are back with a newfound maturity to accompany their fourth studio album Smitten.

While Pale Waves’ first three albums focussed on the band’s immediate present, Smitten is a lot more preoccupied with past lives – some more recent than others. Written two years after Unwanted, and after the tour that followed, Heather found herself in a headspace where she could finally breathe, and reflect, like peeling through the pages of a long-forgotten teenage diary and being surprised by what she found. “I found myself writing about not just a certain time period, but my whole life, from years ago,” she says. “When I fall in love, I fall deep, and it’s interesting to me that you can feel so fascinated and smitten with someone and then they can become a total stranger. So I feel like Smitten really summarised perfectly what I felt for others at a certain point.”
