Dirty Epics were a four-piece Irish new wave band formed in Greystones, County Wicklow, before relocating to Dublin. They were composed of vocalist Sarah Jane "SJ" Wai,[1] bassist Richie Power, guitarist Darren McCoy[2] and drummer Alan Delaney and were managed by Nadine O'Flynn. They have performed at numerous festivals and on television shows.

Dirty Epics are best known for songs such as "The Cure",[3] "We're Coming Up" and "White Out". Their debut album, Straight In No Kissing, was released in 2008 and the band signed a distribution deal with Universal Music Group for it.[4] In 2009, they competed in The Raw Sessions, progressing to the final. In 2010, one of their songs featured in British teen drama Skins and the band returned to SXSW.
