Spawned from the vibrant musical community in Leeds in 2006, the band cite fellow Leedsians Iration Steppas, plus Capleton, The Abyssinians, CultureTwinkle Brothers, Wayne Smith, Augustus Pablo and Scientist as influences. But, you're just as likely to find them digging jazz, soul, garage, house, jungle or electronica, to which the various other projects the band are involved attests - most notably Submotion Orchestra drummer Tommy Evans and multi-instrumentalist/producer Toby Davies, AKA Planas.

As killer as their sound on record is however, it's only half the story, as the band are fast gaining a reputation as one of the most energetic and incendiary live bands in the country – of any genre.

Having wowed crowds and promoters alike, with just two releases under their belt the band have stormed festivals in Goa, plus Glastonbury, Bestival, V and Secret Garden Party, not to mention the biggest bass-music' festival in the world - Croatia's Outlook Festival.

Their records have all remained securely within the top 40 of the album reggae charts since release, garnering support from some of the UK's most prominent underground representatives including Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1) , David Rodigan (Kiss FM) and Don Letts (BBC Radio 6 music).

Gentleman's Dub Club have toured extensively, supporting a number of established artists like Roots Manuva, The Streets, The Wailers and Finlay Quaye.

Of the whole new breed of reggae and roots acts around, GDC are the most skankingly wicked; they always smash it live and on record. Immense - Rob Da Bank DJ (BBC)
