Dub Pistols
The Dub Pistols emerged from the big beat explosion of the mid-nineties.
Big beat was a reaction to stereotypical house music, characterized by a spirit of experimentation. Following in the footsteps of the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, frontman Barry Ashworth began creating rocking beats with his friend Jason O'Bryan, and their bombastic debut single ‘There's Gonna Be A Riot’ was signed by Concrete Records. A series of releases followed, and their debut album ‘Point Blank’ was released in 1998.
The band has been around for over 25 years, releasing 10 albums in that time and developing a unique sound with influences from dub, punk, jungle, ska, breakbeat, hip-hop, and much more.
Dub Pistols are back like they never left, boasting a well-oiled live band that in 2025 released a brand-new album, a live reggae record, and a reissue of their legendary debut 'Point Blank' .
Get blown away by the eclectic mix of this UK whirlwind.
