Dub Pistols
Worshipping The Dollar
Release date 2nd July 2012
11 new tracks including the single Alive & the anthem Mucky Weekend.
Featured guests include Akala (Ms Dynamite’s brother), Rodney P, Lindy Layton, reggae legends Red Star Lion, Kitten & The Hip (aka Ashley Slaters latest musical coupling with Kitten Quinn), Dan Bowskill, Sir Real plus regular Dubs MCs TK and Darrison.
From their early beginnings as a soundsystem project, Dub Pistols have grown into a party-rocking live band that ignites festivals and venues. Their infectious blend of ska, dub, hip-hop, electronic music and punk has won them many fans around the globe over the past 15 years and, following sold-out shows across Europe, they were justifiably voted the Best Live Act at DJ Magazine’s Best Of British Awards at the end of 2011.
Barry Ashworth and his motley crew created their latest long-player in between gigs every weekend following the release of acclaimed 2009 album ‘Rum & Coke’. ‘Worshipping The Dollar’ sees a return to lyrical themes explored on earlier albums with deeper and more conscious lyrics and a pacier feel to the tracks, which mirrors their increasingly frenetic live shows. “There are a lot more statement songs - a lot of food for thought on this one,” says main man Barry Ashworth. “It’s more uptempo, there’s some DNB, but the lyrics are deeper and darker. It’s more like our old stuff in a way.”
Scores of live shows are booked in the diary this year including an album launch at The Electric, Brixton on 11th May as well as a festival schedule to die for. Check
