Dub Narcotic Sound System (DNSS) was born in the Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Washington. Founded by Calvin Johnson in 1993, the band is a loose combination of people trying out different musical ideas. DNSS has functioned as both a live touring band as well as a studio recording band. They have recorded several albums of their own as well as backing other artists for their work. DNSS borrows the Jamaican production techniques of reusing rhythms in a variety of contexts. The band has been on tour a total of 13 times across the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Canada. Dub Narcotic Sound System has toured with other bands such as Satisfact, The Bangs, Built to Spill, Unwound, The Microphones, D+, The Make-Up, Subdebs, Fugazi, John Spencer Blues Explosion, and many others. The long awaited upcoming release from DNSS is due in stores January 21, 2003. This consists of a 7" record with new songs from DNSS. We hope you enjoy the new 7" and the sound of Dub Narcotic Sound System.
