Frontman Barry Ashworth and his motley crew have added a much-needed swagger to the UK dance scene in recent years and their new album finds the band at their uncontrollable, bass-driven best.
A rampant mix of dub, reggae, ska, punk, breaks, beats and drum ‘n’ bass, the album is a full-on dub-quaking extravaganza, built for big fields and summer sound systems. It also happens to feature some of the biggest names in the game including Dancehall dons Beenie Man and Cutty Ranks, reggae singer Earl Sixteen, hip-hop act Too Many T’s, seminal MCs Navigator and the Ragga Twins, and long-time collaborator Lindy Layton.
Proudly working class as a band, the Dub Pistols have been tearing up venues and festivals throughout their career. Known for their rhythmical blend of bass, turntables and horns, their genre-mashing abilities has seen them work with some of their biggest heroes including The Specials, Horace Andy, Madness and Gregory Isaacs.
The band’s reputation as an explosive live act has seen them turn into super-tight festival regulars, which has led to headlining some of the biggest festivals in Europe including Glastonbury, Bestival and Beat-Herder. The band’s music has also been used by Playstation and major Hollywood films.
Ticket prices £10.00 in advance.
