What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

Interesting band, they seemed to disappear just when you thought they were getting somewhere.

 

The first album is more raw, shouty and electronic.

floor filler / fight starter

 

when I was a club going nipper, you found out what sort of crowd was in when this got played

 

unusually, it was one of those tracks where the boys would happily get up and dance

loved them

 

Loved Dub War - Got into them through a sampler from Earache. Saw them live a few times and they were superb.

 

Really liked Benji's other band Skindred too.

yeah went and saw them in Newport, King's Hotel possibly, quite a heavy sound

 

I've got quite a soft spot for a bit of Dub at the moment - I have a 2 day pass for next weekend for a bit of an allnighter watching these guys...

Think I saw them (Dub War) supporting the Manics. May be wrong though, the old memory is a bit hazy after so many years (and gigs).

 

Just remember them being excellent. Think I might have seen Skindred a few times too.

Never got to see Skindred, tbh only found out about them through trying to hunt down Dub War stuff

 

there was a period back then when Newport just got a real spurt of creativity, got to the point record labels were hanging around schools looking for kids holding recorders or triangles I'm sure

 

The old Bute Town Carnival used to be good for a bit of dub (before the whole area got sanitised), battles between sound systems and vans selling nothing but Red Stripe.
