Subterraneans

"A mind-bending, heart-breaking, awe-inspiring missile of sound" - Time Out

"Dazzling, triumphant." - The Lock, Camden

"Subterraneans are that most precious of things, a

truly existential rock'n'roll band with a heart and a soul" - Varsity



"Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding" - Virginia Woolf



Subterraneans can swallow landscapes and swill down sunsets, or grapple the whole Earth with hoops of steel. They have never skipped a pulse beat over what others think. Each of their records creates a world of it’s own. They do not do as others do. Only their silence is painful.

 

It’s hard to believe that they’re only a rock group.

and drink your bliss, for everything that lives is holy" - William Blake

Subterraneans formed in London

(which is important) in 1992 (which isn't). They were formed by singer and

songwriter Jude Rawlins, and guitarist Carl Homer. Jude used to be in Angelhead.

Carl used to be in Wave. They were joined by bassist Robin Phillips

(ex-Solstice) and Guy Evans (Van der Graaf Generator). They

started their own label, The Electric Label, in 1993, having wasted a year of

their precious time (which they still want back) squandering themselves on Sony.

The rest is history. What matters more is the music, and Subterraneans don't

need to make any big claims about that, you can hear for yourself, in fact

you're probably listening right now. Thank

you for listening right now.
