dubmones

**Dubmones** are a genre-bending collective putting a reggae spin on punk classics, most notably reimagining tracks by The Ramones with dub-influenced arrangements. Their work includes the album *“DUBMONES – A Tribute To The Ramones”* (released via Echo Beach), which transforms the band’s high-energy punk anthems into laid-back, bass-heavy jams. Collaborators on their tracks include dancehall and reggae veterans like **Ranking Joe**, whose DJ-style vocals feature on cuts such as *“Sheena Is A Rudie Now”* . The project plays with the hypothetical: *“What if The Ramones had formed in a different part of the globe, during the same era, but within a roots reggae context?”* .

Though specific details about the band’s origins or lineup remain unclear, their releases—including reworked versions of *“Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue”*, *“Pet Sematary”*, and *“Blitzkrieg Bop”*—showcase a knack for merging punk’s raw energy with reggae’s rhythmic groove . Tracks like *“Carry The Flag (Dubmones Re-Dub)”* and *“Flag Riddim”* further highlight their focus on dub production techniques, often featuring heavy echo and spaced-out instrumentation.
