Progressive Maryland rockers The Dirty Jacks have been hugging the grindstone at work on the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed debut Rufus. Today they return with a dynamic new single, "Kill The Lights," from their upcoming EP All Part of The Plan, premiering exclusively on CraveOnline.

Fans of Cold War Kids and Modest Mouse should find a happy home in the new offering, which The Dirty Jacks describe as a song about teen angst and the roller coaster of emotions you feel when finding love. As fun and exhilarating as the journey can be, it inevitably comes to an end - a night of passion can quickly fade away as the sun rises. The song builds to a colossal intensity before pulling back once more like a tide, into a percussion-framed reflection with call-and-response vocals leading up to a multilayered melodic kaleidoscope. - CraveOnline

Today we are pleased to bring you a brand new song from Rockville, MD progressive alt-rock band The Dirty Jacks. “Mr. Derailer” is an instantly memorable and addicting track that you’ll be singing in your head for the rest of the day. The song is the third single from The Dirty Jacks upcoming EP, All Part Of The Plan. It’s a catchy indie/alt/prog-rock summer jam about the trials and tribulations of moving forward in life and reaching new plateaus while putting aside the things you can’t control. It’s an anthem for shrugging off excuses like “easier said than done” and replacing them with a clear and concise effort; “easier said? – easier done!”
