Rub Ultra
Dub metal crossover artists formed in London in August 1993, comprising Will (vocals), Steve (guitar), Charlie (bass), Sarah (vocals/percussion; sister of Will) and Pete (drums). Together they released two EPs in 1994, COMBATSTRENGTHSOAP and COSMYK FYNGER TACTIK, the latter's cover featuring a holiday snap of a camel's posterior. Following support slots with Headswim, S*M*A*S*H* and Therapy (whose Michael McKeegan was prepared to roadie for the band) rumours began to circulate that their debut album for Virgin indie subsidiary Hut would have none other than John Leckie as producer.
