Long Beach Dub Allstars

Long Beach Dub Allstars

Following their 2020 self-titled comeback, Long Beach Dub Allstars return to basics with Echo Mountain High, a psychedelic, genre-bending trip through reggae, rock, ska, hip-hop, hard dub, and soul. Born from 18 yard-session demos written by Opie Ortiz and Edwin Kampwirth during pandemic downtime, the band tracked 13 songs straight to tape before polishing them at 17th Street Recording Studios. The result is a bolder, soul-infused record packed with guest features from Chris Dowd (Fishbone), Devin Morrison, Jesse Wagner, Philieano, and Travis Goertz, along with experimental touches like Mellotron inspired by The Beatles. Standout single "Precious Time" reflects Ortiz's harrowing firsthand experience during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan, serving as a reminder of life's fragility. As foundational torchbearers of the post-Sublime reggae-rock movement, current members Ortiz, Kampwirth, Michael “Miguel” Happoldt, Tim Wu, Roger Rivas, and Gil Sharone prove their enduring legacy with a wild, fearless album tackling everything from love and social issues to mind-expanding soundscapes.

  • Long Beach Dub Allstars

    The Long Beach Dub Allstars are an American reggae-rock band formed in 1997 in Long Beach, California. The group was founded by bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh following the tragic 1996 death of their Sublime bandmate, Bradley Nowell. To carry on their musical legacy, they assembled a supergroup of frequent Sublime collaborators, including vocalist Opie Ortiz, guitarist Miguel Happoldt, and DJ/percussionist Marshall Goodman. The band pioneered a signature Southern California sound that blended reggae, dub, ska, punk rock, and hip-hop. They released their debut album, Right Back, in 1999 on DreamWorks Records, which featured guest appearances from notable reggae and punk artists. In 2001, they followed up with their second studio album, Wonders of the World, which spawned the hit single "Sunny Hours" featuring will.i.am. Internal tensions and drug-related issues led the band to break up in 2002, leading members to pursue various spin-off projects like Long Beach Shortbus and Dubcat. After a long hiatus, the band officially reunited for live performances in the 2010s with a revamped lineup. They released a self-titled comeback album in 2020, proving their enduring influence on the modern reggae-rock genre. Today, the Long Beach Dub Allstars continue to tour and perform, keeping the spirit of the original Long Beach sound alive.
