Your new favorite band: Capital Dub. 6 friends out of Orange County, bringing a unique and modern sound and spreading positive vibes to Southern California’s Reggae music scene. Heavily influenced by Sublime and the way they mixed old school Roots Reggae into Punk-Rock and Hip-Hop, Capital Dub was born in 2020. The band consists of Lead singer Ben Davidson, Drummer Alex Headley, Guitarist Rory McFarland, Bassist Mike Alexander, Pianist Braeden “House” Rhinehart, and percussionist Naaman “Spike” Rodriguez. With 10+ years of friendship, they’ve formed an unbreakable bond and electric chemistry! They started jamming all around OC and quickly began sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the scene such as King Yellowman, Tunnel Vision, etc…!

On May 28th, 2024, Capital Dub released their debut album Somethin’ Simple, and packed out the Garden Amphitheater with friends, family, and loyal fans for their album release show a few days later! They recorded the album with the help of their friend Lew Richards and everyone else at 17th Street Recording Studio in Costa Mesa, Ca, and featured their friends and fellow musicians Shakamon, Dread Kennedy, and Bobby Hustle. “Big ups to our homies that have helped us along the way, Shakamon, Dread Kennedy, Lakedub, The Originalities, Bobby Hustle, Tunnel Vision, Lew Richards, and everyone else at the 17th Street Recording Studio!”

The success of their album would later land them the opportunity to perform at the annual US Open Of Surfing in Huntington Beach, Ca, on August 5th, 2024. This was an extremely nostalgic and monumental moment for Capital Dub, as they had been watching other bands jam at the US Open from a young age! After taking a few months off for lead singer Ben to heal from knee surgery, the band made a strong comeback opening up for Through The Roots at the Garden Amphitheater on December 5th, 2024.

Starting off the new year strong, Capital Dub released new single ‘In The Mood Tonight’ on March 11th. This song was created with the help of Zeb from Tribal Seeds and Lew Richards from 17th Street Recording Street. They will be performing their new single along with many other hits at Cali Roots Festival in Monterey, Ca in May! Make sure to check out all of their links and follow their social medias to catch them at a show near you! It has always been a pleasure to work with Capital Dub, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for them!
