Few bands have changed the face of modern rock like U2, hell, they practically invented it. And few bands have reinvented themselves so effortlessly and yet remained true to their original conception - from the socially conscious posturing of October and War to the exploration of the American zeitgeist of The Joshua Tree to the media-fueled, post-modern, wig-out of Zooropa and Pop - U2’s contribution to our musical landscape in inarguable. Their sound, fronted by Bono’s soaring vocals and The Edge’s chiming guitar, inhabits a space both of musical verve and soulful reflection.
On The Dub Tribute to U2, that unmistakable sound gets translated into a new musical language. Born out the 70’s Jamaican reggae subculture and popularized by such artist as Lee “Scratch” Perry and Black Uhuru, dub is known for its rhythm heavy low-end and spacey atmosphere. It has had a tremendous influence on such artists as The Clash, Portishead and The Gorillaz. Now experience this exciting intersection of U2’s groundbreaking songbook and the Caribbean’s purest form of reggae dance music. The Dub Tribute to U2 gives fresh life to these well-loved songs. Surprise yourself all over again.
