Jeremiah Ferrari are a four piece from Manchester who are massively influenced by Bob Marley and The Wailers and Sublime, combining roots rock reggae with ska and punk to create a contemporary dub rock sound. Their aptly named 'Dubby Rock' E.P was released in 2012 and the band have supported the likes of Hollie Cook, The Blockheads and UB40.
