‘Them Thing Deh Dub’ is a cover of ‘Them Thing Deh’ by legendary reggae artist Ini Zamoze.

“We’re putting this song out for the love of it. We knew we wanted to do a track that paid homage to our forefathers of reggae and dub, rhythm section greatness, Sly and Robbie. They have been an endless source of inspiration to us as a band from the beginning,” shares DUB TRIO‘s Stu Brooks“So, as helicopters swarmed over Hollywood during BLM protests, my wife and I felt compelled to finally break quarantine. As we approached Hollywood and Vine to join in solidarity with the protesters, ‘Them Thing Deh’ happened to be the soundtrack in my headphones. The lyric “got to keep your cool” really spoke to me as I could feel the tension in the air. That week, we quickly put the rhythm tracks together, recording from three different states, with the help of Roger Rivas on organ and keys and hit up our old friend, legend Benji Webbe. Benji is the ultimate genre-masher, soulfully clashing metal, reggae, punk, dub, dancehall… all the sh*t we love!”

Among the band members’ many production and recording projects, Stu Brooks had the honour to track the bass for Danny Elfman‘s first solo single in 36 years, ‘Happy’.  It is available now and can be found here: https://dannyelfman.ffm.to/happy

DUB TRIO released their 5th full-length album The Shape of Dub to Come on New Damage Records in 2019, with praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Consequence of Sound, Revolver, Noisey, Brooklyn Vegan, New Noise Magazine, Submerge Magazine, and more. An homage to titles such as Refused‘s The Shape of Punk to Come and Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz to Come, The Shape of Dub to Come‘s groove hinges on slower stoner-inspired sludge riffing. The release was followed by touring across the United States and Europe, including direct support on the Incubus tour. The acclaimed LP was announced with ‘World of Inconvenience [feat. King Buzzo]’ at Rolling Stone, who called it, “Heavy, trippy… a crafty, atmospheric hybrid.” ‘Fought The Line [feat. Troy Sanders]’ followed via Consequence of Sound, “The creepy, script-flipping video speaks to the song’s heavy lyrical theme.” With ‘Forget My Name Dub [feat. Meshell Ndegeocello]’, they usher dub into new territory like only they can.
