The Dub Pistols formed about a decade ago when Barry Ashworth got together with Jason O Bryan in west London. Finding they shared a love of The Clash, The Specials, and Public Enemy the band launched with a string of party-rockin singles and landed a million dollar record deal with major label Geffen. It was the start of a beautiful nightmare, says Barry. The Dubs began playing full live band shows and were soon on giant US tours. They had their second album Six Million Ways To Live ready to go. A more politicized affair, the problem was that parts of the album were scarily prophetic. It seemed like almost every track on there could refer to 9/11... and then 9/11 happened. The album was just about to come out, and everything just got canceled. In recent years the Dub Pistols name has continued to circumnavigate the globe, thanks to a number of high-profile gigs with the full band, and various Soundsystem dates. The band compiled a Y4K beats and breaks album, and the pieces of the jigsaw fell into place for Speakers and Tweeters .
