The Ebb Tide Motel

 

The Ebb Tide Motel is the newest record from Tommy Dubs and Seismic Leveler, the record is done, but we do not have a release date as of yet, although it will be released soon. The Ebb Tide Hotel is a concept album inspired by Ocean Beach, CA... or commonly called the Ghetto By The sea. This town is a special place, like no other... with stories in every face you meet. You have your ups and downs along the way and you make break some shit..... but you can always add it to the bill.

 We have been giving a few people copies and wanted to share a write up from The exceptional photographer and good friend of the band Ryan Daley... he had soome kind things to say at his blog.... check it out HERE and make sure to click around and see all his photos. 

Brand New Song.... Hope you Like it...

Ebb Tide Motel

We are very pleased to announce our upcoming album called "Ebb Tide Motel" which is a concept album based on Ocean Beach, CA... a place we call home. We started this record as an acoustic album and as a way to push ourselves musically and emotionally. When starting the writing process, the only thing we knew we did not want to do is just record acoustic versions of songs we already played, but rather record and write a record rooted in acoustic instruments and written for acoustic instruments. Ironically, through the process we actually took some of the songs into the studio and completely ditched the acoustic influence and recorded them as a full band. It just goes to show you cant control your inspiration. For those of you that don't know the Ebb Tide Motel, it is a place by the ocean that is a half way house to reality... either heading to or away from. We don't have a release date, but soon come.

Born From A Rebel available now!

Piracy Meets Tommy Dubs "Born From a Rebel" Mixtape now available for free download. Please help us spread this, once we get 2000 listens we will be releasing the full length record....

About 40 minutes is how long this journey lasted. I lost track of the time quickly. Piracy Meets Tommy Dubs mix tape. The prelude to a much anticipated album. These artists have pulled the inspiration of life here in San Diego mixed it with reggae vibes, deep dub and dub-step music, and painted it their own color. This mix tape takes you through Dancehall, Culture, Consciousness, and Roots. The heavy drum and bass with grooving melodies are what I’ve been looking for in new music. I haven’t been this excited for a collaboration since “Distant Relatives”.

Piracy Mel C‘s honest and variant vocals keep the music transforming. She can mash it up tuff in her dancehall flows and still keep it light and positive on chorus. The message is oneness. A way of life is offered. The dub influence makes it catchy and transition well. This teaser is just a taste of what we will be awaiting.  The compliment of Tommy Dubs easy smoky California vibes with Piracy’s hard rebel style brings balance to the track. This is sounds from San Diego. The concept is fresh and Mel C gives me hope for the preservation of Dancehall music. With so many international artists missing out on gigs because of the economic hardships the world is experiencing, this style of international music is kept in good company with us in San Diego. I will be checking Piracy live soon.

Tommy Dub’s creates a sound for our coastline. His lyrics and flow are a step above the mainstream. The love for this project is apparent in his voice. This is heavy music with a lot of messages. His smoky acoustic voice is easily traded in for harder rhyme’s and I would even say a hip-hop style.  The engineering and pulling together  or the “dubbing” if you will, of this music is awesome. The heavy beats and melodies are all unique and pull together well almost to tell a story. I can’t imagine the time spent putting this together. I will be getting this album for sure. Listen and Share, 40 minutes of massive tunes.
