The five members of The Dibs have climbed many musical mountains and swam through numerous melodic waters, but they are young at heart. Although the band has been around since 2019, the current lineup is undoubtedly the definitive one, ready for musical happiness, success, fame, and a luxurious retirement! With their years of expertise and knowledge, they are the much-needed lifeblood and the heartwarming and hopeful seniors of the rhythm & blues, soul, and roots scene. With a drummer who has only just turned thirty, they can pack a punch like young lions!

The word ‘dib’, mostly used plural as ‘dibs’ or the expression ‘to call dibs’ is an informal right, a claim or a reservation before others. So The Dibs claim their spot in the music scene! On the other hand as a noun ‘dibs’ also is slang for small amounts of money or a knucklebone in ‘the game of jacks’. Either way, it all remains a gamble!

With the single “Stop Fooling Around“, a precursor to the album “Just For You,” scheduled for release in March 2026, The Dibs draw inspiration from a time when music didn’t relay on electronics and artificial intelligence. It’s rhythm and blues drenched in hot soul sauce, with a catchy chorus that invites sing-alongs. Dynamics and sounds from seemingly bygone eras, completely reimagined.

Lyrically, it explores a thematic narrative, perfectly in tune with the times when climate change, overpopulation and the associated stressors are strongly impacting our daily lives. But above all, it’s a hopeful song whose rhythm and feeling will breathe new life into your days. “Stop Fooling Around” and it’s message will resonate with everyone. Enjoy!
