Reviews on the Dub Trinity project
THE DUB TRINITY & CHET SINGH PROJECT CD REVIEWS
Politically charged dub reggae/poetry project DUB TRINITY & Chet Singh released their self-titled CD to two packed shows at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel and Ottawa's Mercury Lounge in April 2005. The CD has received rave reviews on a number of community radio stations in Canada, the CBC's Metro Morning and Jamaica's Linkz 96.9 FM. They have also received critical reviews from national and international music magazine
"fiery and thought provoking...... Dub Trinity dares to hope that another world is still possible, and creates a music aimed at sparking the flames of resistance with a 'one love' reggae vibration"
Beat Magazine, Los Angeles

"serves up monster grooves.... through this bone rattling rythmic beast of a set... a satisfying fusion of blunt prose and crisp dub beats."
"Dixon, Roy, and Singh mesh Dub, reggae and other sounds of protest into a northern influenced compote of cool sounds and outta sight beats."
The Peterborough Examiner

"one of Peterborough' most exciting bands,...shows usually fire up crowds in both beats and ....poetic vibes"
Arthur, Trent University's student newspaper
"angry, sardonic, sarcastic, satiric, biting, pointed, irreverent, derisive, even reflective—everything our old English teachers should have taught us poetry could be"

Singh mixes rebellion with the Trinity's dub-flavored Island music that occasionally includes Santana-esque guitar waits, and at times heavier head- nodding rifts that complement Singh's dark message...

Gregory Roy and Beau Dixon have a knack of seeking out dub poets to perform with and they make a point of keeping it political. In Chet Singh they have found an excellent collaborator, both fiercely opinionated and musically adept enough to flow freely overtop the bands grooves
