Hailing from the UK, Poland, and Egypt, the band fuses their diverse musical influences into a high-energy combination of rock styles. Their latest single, “You Better Run! (Villains Theme)” was directly inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in particular the rock soundtrack that scored the action in the Iron Man film.

(Villains Theme).” The vocals scream onto the track, loud and furious, reinforced by layers of guitars and Mateusz’s crashing drums. The overall effect is a controlled chaos ready to spill over at any second. Over this instrumental fury, Tommy’s vocals provide a melodic anchor that soars above. His performance evokes classic hard rock vocals with his raspy timbre and rebellious attitude.
At the core of this frenzy, is Dirty Mitts’ virtuosic guitarist, Mo. His abrasive tones and blistering solos relentlessly propel the song forward. Matt’s basslines are equally assertive, matching the frenetic energy of the guitars. Mateusz attacks with his drum gear with a mixture of punk rock abandon and metal precision, holding together the organized melody unfolding around him.
From its opening notes to final crescendo, “You Better Run! (Villains Theme)” is a high-octane anthem that grabs the listener by the collar and refuses to let go. Dirty Mitts have crafted a track with the same epic scope and energy as the superhero films that inspired it. “You Better Run!
