This Friday I get to see the Dillinger Escape Plan & Dub Trio. So to mark the occasion I thought I'd post some Dub Trio, a band that is definitely too under appreciated. It would make more sense to have posted their live album, but Another Sound Is Dying was one of the best albums of 2008.

Dub Trio started out with a simple enough MO: live dub. But they've evolved into a whole lot more. They've added metal, thrash, prog and everything else in between into the mix, never managing to forget the dub. Live, Dub Trio fucking nails it. Their guitarist is probably my favorite guitarist out there. He can get his guitar to sound like anything, and the dynamic between the three members is nothing short of impressive. The fact that they can pull off "Funishment" live is pretty astounding. As a band they've gotten around too. Opening for Clutch, Bad Brains, playing as the backing band for Peeping Tom, doing studio work for Matisyahu, and an upcoming tour with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

It's also worth pointing out that Martin Kvamme, the genius that did the artwork & layout for this album, as well as a plethora of other albums for Ipecac, won a Norwegian Grammy for his work on Another Sound Is Dying.
