Dreadzone
Dreadzone have been releasing albums and progressively bettering, refining and perfecting their own unique and inimitable take on dub since their inception in 1993. Nine is the ninth official studio album, due for release in October.
Nine welcomes the next phase of Dread with nine songs about redemption and division, love and loss and journeys inside, and around the earth. The album treads into new territories but still connects with the ambience of early Dreadzone albums.
Melting Pot – Indie, Britpop, 90s!
These boys have been gigging constantly in various bands since it all began for them back back in the mid 1990’s.
The live show is a homage to the greatest of the great Indie, Britpop and dance hits of that era and has been honed with spot on attention to detail with songs that are performed with energy and professionalism.
