Early forms of dub can be found in artists such as 311, who were big advocates of prcticing what they preach. Hence the song Come Original. Like I've noted I love the Dub genre, but a lot of bands are falling into a trend of sounding like the genres arguably biggest band, Slightly Stoopid. I was at Murphy's Downtown last Wednesday on their local music night and came across the band Vicious Groove. The set was mostly covers, but the originals for a lack of a better term did not Come Original. I checked Vicious Groove's myspace page, and found one of their originals, Mr.RastaMan. I like the tune but couldn't help but think that the song sounds and is exactly premised off Slightly Stoopid's 'Collie man'. Here is a link to Vicious Groove's myspace page (where you can find the song 'Mr.Rastaman') as well as a the song 'Collie Man' by Slightly Stoopid, I think they're similar but I might be crazy. Tell me what you think.
