DUB PISTOLS CLASH WITH PUNK

DUB PISTOLS

ADDICT

(Sunday Best Recordings)

Festival circuit favourites blend reggae, punk and drum n bass.

8/10

Eighth album blends jungle and dub with punk influences as the band recently covered The Clash’s ‘Bankrobber’. Frontman Barry Ashworth recorded over three albums worth of songs to whittle the best down to this record which took two years to complete. The band collaborate with emerging talents Natty Campbell and Gardna as well as Bodysnatchers Rhoda Dakar on the anti-racist anthem ‘Stand Together’. Their message of hope rings loud. All eleven tracks have a feature artist and ‘Addict’ opens the album with Cheshire Cat. Later ‘Old Skool’ includes Horseman and ‘Two Generals’ features Ragga Twins. This LP follows 2017’s ‘Crazy Diamonds’ (UK Independent chart Top 5 album). During recording, Dub Pistols tragically lost one of their most prominent members, Will Hensel and this album is a tribute to, and celebration of him. Drum & bass, hip-hop, ska, dub and punk combine in these uplifting tracks. Dub Pistols formed in 1996 but show no signs of slowing down. My album of the year.

Addict album review from DJ mag

DUB PISTOLS
‘Addict’
(Sunday Best)
9/10
Get a fix
Dub Pistols albums have long been a riotous collision of breakbeat riddims, dubwise sensibility and a hearty-party attitude, but the addition of junglist producer King Yoof to work on their eighth album, ‘Addict’, has elevated the production up another level. It’s quite possibly the multi-racial collective’s strongest LP yet.
As usual, the list of collaborators is top-notch: Cheshire Cat delivers commanding vocals on the crisp ragga jungle title track and low-slung album closer ‘Soundboy’; scene stalwart MC Navigator duels with full Dubs band member Seanie T on conscious cut ‘Dark Days Dark Times’; the unstoppable Ragga Twins do the biz on a rollin’ ‘Two Generals’; and 2-Tone legend Rhoda Dakar guests on solidarity anthem and recent single ‘Stand Together’, which unwittingly caught the zeitgeist during the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer on release, and should’ve been massive.
But the Dubs can be equally adept at bringing through new talent, and the arrival of young reggae singer Natty Campbell on three tracks — horn-riddled dancehall missive ‘Camberwell Carrot’ and dubby ‘Wicked & Wild’, plus drum & bass outing ‘Sound Sweet’ — demonstrates that they’re always evolving and chasing new dreams. Now, if only there were some festivals to experience this fresh set of bangers at.
