Submission declined on 17 September 2024 by Liance (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Dub Sex were an English post-punk band formed in the Hulme district of Manchester by Mark Hoyle (vocals/guitar) in 1986.^[1]. They were active in the years 1986-1990, 2001 and 2013-2019.

The group released several 12” EPs and mini-albums, recorded four John Peel Sessions^[2] and featured on BBC2’s influential Snub TV music show, playing Swerve, a track later voted by listeners into John Peel’s 1989 Festive Fifty.

They were known for their unsettling, driving sound, characterised by Mark’s "howl" and "gnarly Mancunian voice"^[3] and a prominent bass sound described by Sounds as “tunnelling to the centre of the riff”^[4]
