Release Notes:
Sunday Best are delighted to announce their second Dub Pistols album,
'Rum And Coke', the follow up to 2007's 'Speakers And Tweeters'. The
album features collaborations from Ashley Slater (Freakpower), Lindy
Layton (Beats International), Gregory Isaacs, Justin Robertson, Rodney
P and TK Lawrence. The Dub Pistols have also just remixed Lily Allen's
new single 'The Fear'.
Barry Ashworth and Jason O'Bryan AKA the Dub Pistols have spent the
best part of a decade at the forefront of Beats culture. From their
early singles for Concrete Records to their genre defying 'Six Million
Ways To Live' long player, the Dub Pistols have always added a much
needed Rock n Roll swagger to the UK's dance scene. Chewing up hip-hop,
dub, techno, ska and punk and spitting them out in a renegade
futuristic skank they have consistently defied categorisation and
exceeded the highest of expectations.
Their genre-mashing abilities have led to remix work for the likes of
Lily Allen, Bono, Ian Brown, Moby, Natalie Imbruglia, Crystal Method,
Limp Bizkit & Korn, and has seen them work with hip-hop legend Busta
Rhymes on 'One', a track for the Blade 2 soundtrack and 'Molotov' on
the Y Tu Mama Tambien soundtrack. In recent years the band has mutated
from a studio based duo into a fully fledged live act often featuring
the talents of guest vocalists UK Hip Hop don Rodney P, the maverick
and mercurial former Specials front man Terry Hall, US rap w│nderkind
T.K., as well as Sugardaddy horn-blower Tim Hutton and scratch maestro
DJ Stix.
Their third album 'Speakers And Tweeters', released on 9th April 2007,
through Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label, is a consummate statement of
intent. Their most accessible to date, the album's 13 tracks draw on a
rich tapestry of influences, weaving tight beats and even tighter
rhymes into a refined and assured set. The stirring chords and
laid-back beats of 'Speed of Light', featuring guest vocalist Blade's
skilful flow, opens the album in style. An inspired cover of Punk
legends The Stranglers' classic 'Peaches', immediately grabs the
attention, with the vocal dexterities of guest vocalists Rodney P and
Terry Hall taking centre stage, before the pumping, angular funk of the
album's title track 'Speakers And Tweeters' takes hold. A deeply
ingrained skank runs throughout the album, as ably demonstrated on the
horn-driven 'Running From The Thoughts'.
