Dub Pistols

About

Dub Pistols are a London-based electronic band founded in 1996 by Barry Ashworth. Mixing big beat, dub, reggae, ska and drum & bass, they built their reputation on relentless live shows and a string of collaborative studio albums rather than chart hits. "Six Million Ways to Live" (2001/2005) remains their best-known record, though the band has kept releasing new material consistently across three decades.
