Submarine alternated introspective indie-rock with noisy psychedelic jams; to the former quality was oft associated the term
shoegazing . They released their self-titled debut album in 1994;Keith Cleversley (of Flaming Lips fame) produced it for Ultimate. A second album, also recorded with Cleversley, was turned down by the label & later released onTaky Recordings , nearly 10 years later. "Kiss Me Till Your Ears Burn Off", a compilation of singles and B-sides, was released on theFantastick Records label.Submarine recorded two separate
Peel Session s for legendary English radio personalityJohn Peel , a feat not duplicated by many bands invited to record for the BBC.During their career, Submarine toured extensively with such bands as the Flaming Lips, Moose,
Radiohead , Peach and Tool. Beginning in 1993, Submarine participated in the Ultimate Records Tour withthe werefrogs & Sidi Bou Said.Around 1995, Submarine disbanded, but semi-spontaneously reassembled itself, in the manner of
T-1000 , with linchpins Neil Haydock (guitar, vocals) and Rob Harron (bass) forming Jetboy DC. As such they have recorded and released a modicum of material, as well as having made one concert tour.ubmarine membership
