In 2020, The Face magazine commissioned a documentary titled ‘Generation Peace’ which heavily featured Dirty Faces in interviews and showcasing their music, with Chord Blossom describing the lads as a group that “contain all the subtlety of a petrol bomb”. Other projects of note; a commission to write and produce music for a Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey campaign, and a two track feature on Robyn Lynch’s ‘What Does Fashion Sound Like?’ playlist.
Since 2023 the lads have gigged across Ireland & Britain; headlining their ‘Big White Van’ tour, supporting Meryl Streek and Kneecap, debuting Electric Picnic, as well as championing fundraising gigs at home for grass roots organisations such as CATU, headlining Rock for Pride on the 30th anniversary of Foyle Pride, and running the Irish Artists for Palestine’s Derry gig, raising £7,450 for Medical Aid Palestine (MAP). In 2024, Dirty Faces’ song “80%” was featured in the soundtrack to Kneecap’s BAFTA nominated biopic and played BBC Radio 6 Live Music Fix in Belfast as main support for Enola Gay. The year also saw the band relocate to Glasgow, culminating in headlining McChuills’ Vicar Street Social in February 2025, playing as main support for Glasgow favourites Gallus in April and releasing single ‘Homemade Kite’ produced by former live drummer of The Prodigy, Kieron Pepper. June brought them back to the big smoke of London, playing to a packed Hackney crowd to raise funds for charity Gaza Sunbirds. The remainder of the year is busy for the band, with King Tuts’ Summer Nights in August and Tenement Trail in October.
