Biography
For years critics have been hailing TRUMYSTIC "as single-handedly transforming the future of reggae" (~Stowe Reporter, Mike Schaefer)

They are a six piece live dub collective on the cutting edge of modern music. With vocalist Kirsty Rock at the helm (as heard on Dub Side of the Moon, Radio Dread and the Easy Star All Stars Lonely Hearts Dub Band), they bring an uplifting, genre bending new sound infused with old school reggae rhythms, dub essentials, dance hall, hip-hop, soul, pop and skank-infused riddim rock. With an honesty and insight rare in popular music these days, they convey politically charged and socially conscious lyrics without pretense.

TRUMYSTIC's red-hot live experience has gained so much appeal that they've now had the chance to share the stage with a broad and diverse group of artists including Jimmy Cliff, Black Eyed Peas, Culture, Cypress Hill, Jungle Brothers, Sugar Minott, the Meditations, Easy Star All Stars, and so many others...

This has to be my choice for dub album of the year. Heavy where it should be . . . plenty of meditational melodies . . . and the voice of Kirsty Rock! If you loved the siren wail on "Great Gig in the Sky" from "Dub Side of the Moon,? "Dub Power" will simply dub you c-r-a-z-y . . . ~Dr. Strange Dub KFAI-FM
