Long Beach Dub Allstars – Full Spectrum (CD)
Product Details
Anchors of the Southern California reggae-rock scene since the mid-90s, Long Beach Dub Allstars emerged from the same fertile Long Beach community that produced Sublime, carrying that spirit forward after tragedy reshaped that world. Full Spectrum arrives as a reminder that their reach extends well beyond regional roots, pulling in collaborators who span punk, reggae, and hip-hop royalty and reflecting a band that has earned its place among the genre's long-haul lifers.
After tripping through the psychedelic landscapes of 2023’s Echo Mountain High, Long Beach Dub Allstars return with Full Spectrum, an album that finds the band refocusing on the roots in reggae, rock, hip hop and soul that have defined them for more than 25 years.
As its title suggests, Full Spectrum covers a wide musical and emotional range. The record moves from the driving, feel good energy of “Lil Bit of Sunshine” and the vintage reggae rhythms of “Work So Hard” featuring Kyle McDonald from Slightly Stoopid to the socially conscious “Gunman” and the powerful closing track “Asking You” featuring H.R. from the legendary Bad Brains. Throughout the album, Long Beach Dub Allstars balance joy and escape with messages about perseverance, social awareness and the realities of the world around them.
