Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember seeing an ad for a concert by Dub War<\/a> in one of the free music newspapers in September or October 1995. I hadn\u2019t heard of them previously, but a young lady in my Elizabethan Lit (look, we\u2019ve all got a past) class expressed an interest in going, so we made it a date. I remember being nervous beforehand, so much so that I forgot to take my passport to use as identification, and we pretended to the doorman at The Roxy that I was a French exchange student and didn\u2019t understand the need for proof of age at licensed venues. In any case, it was an excellent gig, and I remember the support acts were Pangaea<\/a> and Emporium<\/a> \u2013 two very entertaining Brisbane-based outfits. The gig poster used the photo from the Strike It<\/em> single. I wish I could find a copy of it, but here’s one I found on an eBay listing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ironically, I didn\u2019t buy a copy of this album until maybe ten years later, when I\u2019d started to earn enough of the folding stuff that buying CDs was something I could afford to do. It\u2019s a great album from start to finish, one of those performances that has you wondering why these guys weren\u2019t bigger too. I know I say that about several rap \/ rock and dub \/ rock bands, and then I guess people were a bit more ready for something like it in the new millennium.<\/p>\n

Standout tracks on this one are Strike It<\/em>, Why<\/em>, Nar Say A Ting<\/em>, and Spiritual Warfare<\/em>. But I\u2019ll happily bop along to anything Dub War is playing. If you haven\u2019t heard of them, they\u2019re definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n
