That’s right, the Dub Pistols are returning with their seventh studio album ‘Crazy Diamonds’ and it’s available to pre-order now!
You can be one of the very first to get your hands on the album, released on 13th October via Sunday Best, which finds the band at their uncontrollable, bass-driven best.
A rampant mix of dub, reggae, ska, punk, breaks, beats and drum ‘n’ bass, ‘Crazy Diamonds’ 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.
If you thought a new Dub Pistols album was enough good news for one day, think again! The band have put together some bumper bundle offers to raise the bar even further.
Not only does every CD and Vinyl LP come with a free poster if purchased from the official album store, but you can also add an album T-Shirt into your order for only £5 extra! How’s that for a deal?!
