About This:
“Dub Trio plays spacious reggae grooves spiked with high-adrenaline punk rock,” New York Times

“The album is an agro-chill mood music mélange made more monstrous by the band’s potent creativity, studio savvy, and scarily tight precision,” Bass Player

“Anyone who calls themselves a musician needs to take in a Dub Trio show EXCEPT if you are a drummer. After seeing what Joe Tomino does with a drum kit, a pair of sticks and an affected mic, you WILL give up playing drums,” Sentimentalist

“The talented three-some has a different take on dub, using metal to spice up a genre that can get a bit repetitive…Dub Trio’s melding of styles gives the sound a kick in the ass that makes for a truly heavy listen,” URB

“Dub Trio has returned with something new to say, or more accurately, shout…Even when the Trio is at their nosiest, it’s a meticulous and thoughtful noise,” CMJ

“Interesting. Very interesting…these guys write really great rock songs…New Heavy was produced to perfection, with a nice thick sound that compliments the band’s ideology,” Baby Sue

“New Heavy is both an ironic comment on the increasing aesthetic conservatism of punk and an accurate description of how Dub Trio is inventing their own brand of in-your face dub reggae,” Culture

“As stoned as their sound may be (a sealed wind tunnel of esoteric electronic effects, rubber-ball basslines and hollow drums), it’s also informed by the tempura crunch of heavy metal,” City Paper

“Nasty, heavy, bad-ass, dancy, extremely progressive music,” Buffalo Rising

“It’s a well-known fact that we here at XLR8R have a soft spot for dub. Who doesn’t? But Dub Trio has taken that soft spot and ripped it to shreds with their potent blend of blisteringly heavy rock and dub conventions. If you’re not stoked yet, wait until you hear “Not Alone” featuring Mike Patton (Fantomas, Faith No More). You may find yourself in a world full of beautiful pain,” XLR8R

“New Heavy is an adventure in balls out rocking dub music. Fans of the flanger and delay will love Dub Trio and fans of balls-to-the-wall freakouts will go nuts over New Heavy,” News 4 U

“New Heavy thrashes through a knotty thicket of double-bass-tinged hard rock while somehow maintaining its dub roots,” Global Rhythm

“This is one hot underground disc that is bubbling too hard and hot to be kept there,” Midwest Record Review

“…has vaulted the genre to new heights with the extremely powerful release, New Heavy…The songs transition effortlessly, and while each selection has a vastly different sound, the flow of the record is constant. Highly recommended,” 411 Mania

“There is obviously a lot of talent within the trio. These guys prove that they are diverse musicians with the ability to tackle just about everything,” Acclaimed Punk
