 | | The Dub Rifles 5 piece line-up (2 saxes, guitar, bass, drums) combined their primary influences of Motown, Stax, punk (60s and 70s variety), dub reggae and original 60s ska into a highly danceable big rhythm blend that knocked them for a loop in their hometown. |
 | | A couple of lengthy road excursions (Vancouver-Halifax) garnered them considerable college radio play and a healthy core of followers at a time when the CDN underground scene was just beginning to flourish. |
 | | During their brief career the band was featured on "The New Music" program, shared the stage with the likes of Steel Pulse and Midnight Oil, released 2 independent EPs on their own Notown label, made an appearance on ROIR's Trouser Press comp. |
