Brain Damage (dub band)

In the early 2000, Brain Damage experimented their first international collaborations in London with Dub specialists like The Disciples, Alpha and Omega, Zion Train or with the MC Tena Stelin. Their works based on Spoken word and Dub Poetry led them to include numerous voices in their tracks, like Black Sifichi and many others afterwards. From 2011 on, with the departure of Raphael for other projects, Brain Damage was to be composed solely of its frontman, Martin Nathan. In 2015 and 2016 the band released two albums based on collaborations with Jamaican artists Horace Andy, Winston Mc Anuff, Kiddus I, Willi Williams and Ras Michael. In 2017, Martin's first collaboration with Harrison Stafford, leader of Groundation, gave birth to the album Liberation Time. In 2021 Brain Damage produced Brain Damage meets Big Youth-Beyond the Blue, with Big Youth. In 2023 Groundation meets Brain Damage-Dreaming From An Iron Gate, a second major collaboration with Harrison Stafford. == Discography ==
