Highlighted this week is the tremendous Worshipping the Dollar album by the Dub Pistols. The Dub Pistols are a very entertaining live band drawing on electronics, samples, big beats, dub (of course), reggae, dance, rap, brass, drum and bass, acid house and hip hop. A perennial festival favourite it is very pleasing the group have captured the excitement of a live performance in the studio with this 2012 offering. Sample their infectious high energy music here with West End Story.
