‘Tripwire!’ saw a formal release in 1987 on the band’s debut EP. The mini-album ‘Push’ and ‘The Underneath’ EP soon followed. By early 1989, Dub Sex were at their peak releasing perhaps their finest work - the ‘Swerve’ EP - the title track was voted by listeners into Peel’s 1989 end-of-year ‘Festive 50’.
When seemingly on the cusp of greater things, their final and most commercial release ‘Time Of Life’ got lost in the euphoria surrounding ‘Madchester’ indirectly leading to the band’s demise in 1990.
At the core of Dub Sex were Mark Hoyle (vox/gtr), Cathy Brooks (bass) and Roger Cadman (drums). They were joined most notably by founding guitarist Dave Rumney and later Chris Bridgett. Reforming in 2014 to play a series of successful festival and headline shows, Dub Sex are playing gigs in 2019 to support the Apr-19 compilation release of 'Search For The Right Words'.
