Revolutionary Dub Warriors

about

This four piece hand from Reading have become figureheads in the genre of music known as dub. Formed in 1991 by some of the originators of the reggae /free festival cross-over scene they have constantly been at the forefront of some of the most imaginative and diverse sounds around. Frontman, bass player and songwriter Steve Swann has worked with and been part of such luminaries as the 'Kaya Collective' (1983), 'Military Surplus' (1984), Radical Dance Faction (1984), Dub The Earth (1987), Hi Tech Roots Dynamics (1991) and a founding member of Revolutionary Dub Warriors (199l). Keyboard player and songwriter Richard Patterson has featured and played in most of the same bands as Steve Swann resulting in a special musical understanding only obtainable after a considerable amount of time working together, giving the Revolutionary Dub Warriors their own unique fluid sound. Drummer Kevin Maxwell is a self taught musician who is also house drummer at The Theatre Royal. Kevin has also heen part of many session and touring bands playing many diverse styles of music to an incredibly high standard. Percussionist Paul Tillotson started his musical career as a vocalist and bass player with various anarcho-punk bands, followed by a succession of bands and multi-media projects before switching from bass to playing the Djembe drum from West Africa. Paul played with various dub outfits before joining the Revolutionary Dub Warriors in August 1995. The Revolutionary Dub Warriors sound is
