Free Music Notes for New Heavy
Free Music Review: What were they listening to?
Hit: 1 Stars
Hmmm, well, to each his/her own, I suppose. I purchased this record based on the four glowing recommendations, and on an interest in dub style music, but it's hard to believe that those four reviewers were listening to the same record. Frankly, I thought this sucked. One of the reviewers claims that these guys are top-notch musicians with an impressive resume of studio work, but none of that was in evidence here. To me, the songwriting was boring, the recording quality was poor, and the performances uneven. The drummer's attempt at double bass on one of the tracks was simply lame. It's an interest idea, I suppose, to blend "punk" with "reggae dub," but when there are other and better examples of those styles at both ends of the spectrum, why waste your money on this?
New Heavy Poster
Dub Trio is one of the few bands that can open for Mike Patton (featured on this record), reggae legends The Wailers, hip-hop MC Beans, electro-pioneers Meat Beat Manifesto, firebrand Capleton, jazz-funkers Soulive, and electronica maestro Prefuse 73 (all of which they did in 2005). It speaks volumes about their music?s versatility; one minute it?s gummy dub, the next it?s chest-beating, chug-a-lug metal, shredding punk, and bleeped-out electronic psychedelia. At its best, Dub Trio?s music is simultaneously all these and more. Their sophomore album, aptly-titled NEW HEAVY, is undoubtedly a rock record that retains enough dubby elements to save the boys a name-change: "Dub is the foundation. It?s in everything we do, whether it?s the structure, the effects, or the bass line. It?s what all other elements are based on. You hear that even on the heaviest parts of the new record." ? Joe Tomino, drummer New Heavy is indeed heavy, and hard. It references Metallica more than Marley, and features the one and only MIKE PATTON (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas) on ?Not Alone,? which Billboard Magazine describes as ?an old school Faith No More-style rocker.? How did this collaboration come about? Simple. Mike Patton heard Dub Trio?s music. Yep, that?s all it took. No mutual friends, no money, no label pressure, just a few rough mixes from the New Heavy sessions and Patton knew they were on to something: "Dub Trio are very talented musicians that cover many different genres in each piece they play. They are doing something that very few artists are doing today, and doing it their own way." ? Mike Patton Their versatility and singularity have as much to do with musical acumen as with the communication between each member?s unique personality: "We have our own musical language. We communicate with each other through our instruments, eye contact, energy. That?s why no two live shows are the same, no two performances of a song. That?s also why it?s as important to see us as it is to hear us, because you can see that interaction on stage." ? Stu Brooks, bassistAlternative Rock Music CDs
