DREADZONE, an energetic, old skool dread band entering into their third decade, will bring their latest album ‘Dread Times’ to Frome this April.
Dreadzone, described as one of the most energetic, exciting and powerful live bands to emerge from the post-rave scene, have steadily been releasing albums and progressively bettering, refining and perfecting their own unique and inimitable take on dub since their inception in 1993. “Still going strong after nearly 25 years in the game they have also long been and still are, one of the best live bands around.”
They will be performing at the Cheese and Grain in Frome on Saturday 21st April with tickets available from the box office or directly via www.dreadzone. com/live-dates/.
Heading into 2018, Dreadzone move forward as a 5-piece, after parting ways with their guitarist after 10 years, and are focusing more on the electronic and dub elements of their stage show – a sound they developed in earlier years of Dreadzone.
Their old skool dread sound comes bubbling to the surface on new album ‘Dread Times’ which digs deep into their dub and reggae roots, whilst still keeping the beats fresh and the textures electronic.
Dread Times is the band’s 8th studio album and the 3rd release on their own Dubwiser label. The album stormed into the Top 40 UK Official Album Charts on release – the first time the band have charted in over 20 years. The album also made the Top 10 in the Indie and Dance Charts.
