is an Olympia, Washington based indie-funk musical group founded by Calvin Johnson, signed to K Records.
The band was named after Calvin Johnson's basement recording studio, Dub Narcotic.
Dub Narcotic Sound System has toured in the United States, Japan, Canada and Europe with bands such as Built to Spill, Fugazi, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
[4] The Michigan Daily described their album Degenerate Introduction as "an open, airy fusion of punk, funk, dub, indie rock and hip-hop with a lo-fi hue".
However, the newspaper criticised Johnson's vocals, saying they were "polarizing and force[s] you to become annoyed as he drowns out the empty beats".
