The latest track from Nick Headon's Dub Kitchen, titled "Espresso Food," is a remarkable collaboration with Liv Linley, the singer of RudeSix. Linley's remarkable vocals bring a new melodic layer to the Dub Kitchen's sound, and her lyrics deliver a cutting critique of Britain's current political state and economic difficulties. The Dub Kitchen, a creation of UK multi-instrumentalist and producer Nick Headon, blends influences from '70s reggae and punk, California legends Sublime, and contemporary dub acts such as Gentleman's Dub Club and Prince Fatty. The lyrics capture the spirit of the Thatcher-fueled punk and ska movement of the 1970s, lashing out against the current political climate and economic struggles in Britain. As usual, the Dub Kitchen incorporates spoken word samples, including the line: "It is our duty as human beings to raise one unified voice of protest and indignation."
