mummy told me once son I worry for you I didn’t get it at the time, I was just a boy I grew up and I become a man I’ve been around long enough to understand what mama was warning I traveled the world, I saw men slaving other men and children in the mud, thinking ‘bout mamma’s word I guess there’s some people down here feeling the way I feel but just like I do they hide somewhere this world isn’t made for me…

Documentary "In the studio" : youtu.be/95om7Zj2q4Q

In 2019, Pinnacle sound knocked at the door of Bat Records studio. Enticed by the sound of Dub Shepherds, Ocman Dread and Ras Salam come to entrust the realization of their forthcoming EP to Dr Charty and Jolly Joseph.

S.E.E.D comes out in june 2020, followed by a second EP, THIS IS THE WAY, in november 2020, then a LP, SOUL MEDICINE, in february 2022. all of them recorded and mixed by Dub Shepherds.

That is an understatement, given their prolific collaboration, that these four musicians get along just fine ! they are connected to the fullest !

Bolstered by the production of about thirty tracks (!), the four teammates challenge themselves to make an album “one shot”. No preparation, no preconceived idea. Just locked themselves in the studio and record everything they play. This is not Pinnacle Sound, this is not Dub Shepherds. They are the Dirty Makers !

The Best We Can Offer is an explosion ! Each track is as hot as if it was coming out of the oven ! Eight songs, spontaneous and sincere, full of beer and spring mounted !

You won’t believe your ears, that why a documentary will be released with the album, shot during the recording sessions. Beware ! Not for the faint hearted ! Revelations inside !
