Dub Sex were an English post-punk band formed in the Hulme district of Manchester by Mark Hoyle (vocals/guitar) in 1986.[1]. They were active in the years 1986-1990, 2001 and 2013-2019.
The group released several 12” EPs and mini-albums, recorded four John Peel Sessions[2] and featured on BBC2’s influential Snub TV music show, playing Swerve, a track later voted by listeners into John Peel’s 1989 Festive Fifty.
They were known for their unsettling, driving sound, characterised by Mark’s "howl" and "gnarly Mancunian voice"[3] and a prominent bass sound described by Sounds as “tunnelling to the centre of the riff”[4]
