CKUT’s Roots Rock Rebel – Wednesday, January 11th, 2012
10pm-12am, CKUT, 90.3FM, Montreal!
Hello proud wage slaves and radio rebels!
Welcome back to another weekly podcast of Roots Rock Rebel, the only radio program which brings you a weekly heaping serving of reggae, punk, ska, and soul, all lathered with a thick topping of anarchist class-war politics! Oooo I can hear you all drooling now….
Our special guest on the show this week was Greg Roy, the drummer of Dub Trinity from Peterborough, Ontario. Dub Trinity describes their music as blending “the styles of Burning Spear, Woody Guthrie and Linton Kwesi Johnson while their music fuses roots dub-reggae and ska with Meters-style funk, with a dash of Fela Kuti’s afrobeat and picket line solidarity”. Sounds good to us! They put out a nice 8-song album in 2011 called Alexandria, which covers many different music styles, and features the collaboration of world-renowned reggae producer Dubmatix. Check them out online!
Other than that, we played plenty of anti-fascist punk, skinhead reggae, and soulful rocksteady on this week’s program. Hope you enjoy!
Next week on the program will be an all-women riot-grrrrl extravaganza with a special guest DJ, and in coming weeks we’ll have interviews with The Pinstripes, Colectivo, and the Hangers. Stay tuned!
Until next week,
Stay rude, stay rebel
