The unstoppable Dub Pistols are getting set to return in July with their fifth album "Worshipping The Dollar".
Barry Ashworth and his motley crew created their latest long-player in between gigs every weekend following the release of acclaimed 2009 album "Rum & Coke".
"There are a lot more statement songs - a lot of food for thought on this one," says Ashworth. "It's more uptempo, there's some DNB, but the lyrics are deeper and darker. It's more like our old stuff in a way."
From their early beginnings as a soundsystem project, Dub Pistols have grown into a party-rocking live band that ignites festivals and venues. Their infectious blend of ska, dub, hip-hop, electronic music and punk has won them many fans around the globe over the past fifteen years and, following sold-out shows across Europe, they were justifiably voted the Best Live Act at DJ Mag's Best Of British Awards at the end of 2011. Scores of live shows are booked in the diary this year including an album launch at The Electric Ballroom, Camden on 11th May.
