The New Zealand dub/roots scene just awesome at the moment. There's this massive party in a vineyard that i'm (hopefully) going to over New Years - 18 hours of dub! hell yes. anyway, some of the best are: The Black Seeds Fat Freddy's Drop Katchafire (more reggae than true dub, but great nonetheless) Salmonella Dub Trinity Roots (although they have broken up they were fantastic) The Scribes of Ra The WBC Ddub Shapeshifter Kora Zuvaya Fly My Pretties and there's heaps more - just so much goodness.
If you go to http://amplifier.co.nz/ there are samples of so many bands. Most of the dub ones are on there too - i think you can hear wee bits of songs without joining, but if you do join (it's free) you can hear much more, and watch the vids too. It's so worth it
LOVE DUB. my brother is a dub reggae band, called The Drastics, theyre currently instrumental but have a few tracks with lyrics, theyre being put out by the biggest ska/reggae label in the midwest, Jump Up, check them out at www.TheDrastics.com
I adore dub! The best scene is definetly in europe at the moment. I'm into Vibronics, Zion Train, Dub Trio, Mad Prof, Augustus Pablo, Lee Scratch Perry, Caley Live Dub are awesome, and everyone should check out Brain Damage! They're a french group and they're awesome.
