Dumb

Dumb were a Manchester indie rock band between 1993 and 1998 that consisted amongst others vocalist Mark Doyle and bassist Cathy Brooks, who were both previously members of Dub Sex. 
Dumb weren't a million miles away from Dub Sex. Hoyle's voice still rasped against the world, and Brooks' bass still bounced around in places you wouldn't think possible, but Dumb's music was less dense than Dub Sex's.
Dumb released two albums and several singles of tight, wired pop and then split, with guitarist Jay going off to play with John Robb's Gold Blade. Hoyle and Brooks reformed Dub Sex some years later. Brooks went on to play for Calvin Party, who mix politics and pop in their work.
==Links to Peel==
Peel was a fan of Dub Sex and when the group split, with Mark and Cathy joining Dumb, he kept interest in their new project by playing their songs and a session they recorded for his radio programme in 1996.
