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 magazines.

"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...
Ottawa
Express. April 13. 2005
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
Exclaim!
