Gentleman’s Dub Club have teamed up with the inimitable force of nature Eva Lazarus on their new single, “High Hopes,” which comes out today via Easy Star Records. It’s the next cut coming from their upcoming new studio album due out June 9. The song is a heavy-grooving one drop riddim that has all the hallmarks of another classic GDC sing-along anthem. Laced with the songwriting and production wizardry of Brad Baloo (The Nextmen), “High Hopes” is an already essential cut for lovers of feel-good summertime reggae.

Dynamic blues force Samantha Fish and country outlaw Jesse Dayton reveal the fierce new track “Riders” from their upcoming effort, Death Wish Blues, out May 19th on Rounder Records. “Riders” finds the duo interchanging commanding vocals while building a ferociously groove-heavy rhythm.
