Life in The Stocks Podcast

This week’s guest on Life In The Stocks is musician, DJ, producer, and frontman and leader of the Dub Pistols, Mr Barry Ashworth. Matt went to Barry’s house last week for a cup of tea – how civilised – to discuss lockdown life, Ibiza in 1987 and the second summer of love, pills, partying, rave culture, the history of the Dub Pistols, working with the likes of Terry Hall, Rodney P, Busta Rhymes and Gregory Issacs, and bunch of other crazy tales from his storied life and career.

Dark Days Dark Times

The latest single to be taken from the forthcoming Dub Pistols album ‘Addict’ is here and available now.

Drawing on the problem of gang related gun crime from a disenfranchised youth, ‘Dark Days Dark Times’ was one of the first songs recorded for the album and highlights how austerity and its effects, like closing youth clubs etc, has driven kids onto the streets and into these gangs.

The tracks emotive message, delivered by Mc Navigator & Seanie T, flows harmoniously over atmospheric production and haunting backing vocals and gives us a further glimpse into what’s to come from the highly anticipated studio album.

PRE-ORDER NEW ALBUM ‘ADDICT’ NOW

We’re thrilled to announce our new album ‘Addict’ is set for release on September 11th, 2020 and available to pre-order right now, through acclaimed label, Sunday Best Recordings.

The record is a melting pot of dubwise sensibility, junglist riddims and feelgood party anthems and it’s been a real pleasure working on it.

We recorded over 3 albums worth of music to get to the finished version – Every time we finished a song, we would come up with another idea for a track and an artist we wanted to work with. It’s been incredible to collaborate with all the legends on the record, but it’s also the new emerging talent such as Natty Campbell and Gardna that feature that have really given us new enthusiasm.

‘Addict’ may have taken two years to record, but it has been 25 years in the making and we can’t wait for you to hear it!
