Stuff your Stockings this Xmas with Dubmarine



Announcing the release of their new single Chip + Single launch dates

Myspace

Batten down the hatches, Brisbane’s high-powered dub and dancehall assault Dubmarine are preparing to rip into 2010 with the release of their brand-new single Chip. Featuring their trademark bass-driven foundations, twin trombone blasts and thunderous synth explosions, the track rocks a deep dancehall riddim. Lead by the vocal gymnastics of indigenous superstar D-Kazman, Dubmarine have set about redefining the Brisbane reggae sound with the first release from their highly anticipated debut album Depth Of Sound – due 2010.

The release comes after Dubmarine were bestowed the honour of being nominated for the ‘Best band of 2009’ at the Deadly Awards. Announced at award ceremony held at the Sydney Opera House, they were just pipped at the post by the very deserving Saltwater Band, but are still chuffed with the recognition.

The reggae/dancehall/electronic/acoustic kaleidoscope Dubmarine has had a busy 2009. Between prime spots at Woodford Folk Festival, Parklife, The Dreaming Festival, and the inaugural U-Tribe, as well as successful tours of QLD and NSW, the nine mariners of this dub-sub vessel have been bunkered down in the studio. Working with producer Andrew Stephens at Drew-Id Studios and The Tanuki Lounge in Brisbane’s West End, Depth Of Sound is set for national release early next year.

Chip is the first new music from Dubmarine since their debut-EP Dub From The Deep caught the national music community by surprise in 2007. A relatively new collaboration at the time of the release; people quickly flocked to the group, infected by their upbeat danceability and imaginative exploration of reggae and dub. First single Singie racked up strong airtime, featured nationally across Triple J, PBS, 3RRR, FBi, SYN and 4ZzZ.

The Dubmarine crew are set to release Chip this November/December with a string of Vic, Qld and Northern NSW dates. The release also coincides with the launch of the ‘Live @ The Dreaming Festival’ DVD with the bands return appearance at the Woodford Folk Festival.
