Dub Sex release Search For The Right Words, a complete 23-track compilation of their studio works brought together for the first time. Originally released on a series of EPs and mini-albums between 1987-89, most of these recordings are long-deleted and several have never previously been made available in a digital format. The package also includes unreleased John Peel session tracks and an Edward Barton cover recorded for a compilation tribute album. The band reformed in 2014 playing a handful of festival dates and low-key headline shows in Manchester and London. With core members Mark Hoyle (vocals/guitar), Cathy Brooks (bass) and former guitarist Chris Bridgett (guitar), Dub Sex will be playing more dates in 2019. CD digipack includes 24-page booklet.
"Dub Sex, one of my very favourites" --John Peel, BBC Radio 1, 1988.
"Dub Sex's music is a stark but galvanising post-punk surge -- reverberant drums and cheese-wire guitar plus a what-it-says-on-the-tin dub-edge to the bass. But it's Hoyle's voice that dominates the recordings -- a hugely expressive thing without obvious parallel" --Roy Wilkinson, Mojo, 2014.
