Dubinski: Whats your definition of happiness? Is it acceptance from someone else or of yourself? Is it the feeling that youre OK with whoever you are at any given time? Maybe its the thirst to grow from experience and changes that are on the horizon. Or is it just being able to enjoy being in the moment?These are big questions that, to be addressed with any level of success, need tackling by a special band.Welcome to the new album by Dubinski With tracks about twisted romance and the perils of trying to survive as a DIY live band. Everything is set to a compelling, invariably infectious soundtrack which fuses elements of LCD Soundsystem, Parquet Courts, The Clash, MaximoPark and Paul Simon.Those influences meld into Dubinski becoming their own unique force, while being able to stand alongside socially conscious, fierce bands such as Fontaines D.C, Benefits and Yard Act as artists whose music combines big anthems with strong principles.
