.Sub (band)

.Sub (band)

".Sub" are an English indie/electronica group, described by NME in 2007 as "...Joy Division and Mogwai scrapping over who can sound the most epic." [cdbaby.com/picks/422] Although there is often confusion about the pronunciation of the band's name, the period is inaudible.

History

Formation

Norwich's original atmospheric rock trio .Sub-name inspired by Bowie's song Subterraneans off his stunning LOW album-is fronted and founded by Adam Chamberlain.

Formed by childhood friends in 1996, .Sub's characteristically intense sound quickly earned the band a reputation as one of the most innovative and unique alternative rock acts in all of Norwich, with many new bands citing .Sub as their musical influence.

In 2004, the band played their first public performance at Norwich's "Ferry Boat" and brought in the largest crowd the venue had ever seen. Fuelled by all the positive feedback the band was earning, in 2005 the trio composed their first professional recording titled The Mill Sessions. The four-track collection not only gained interest from major labels, but also earned them a spot on Best of wombatwombat—a compilation album (produced by Nrone records) where local promoters "wombatwombat" handpicked the threesome from over 100 other possible bands.

A year and three attempts later, Chamberlain was finally happy with the sound and the band released their first E.P., Gotterdamerung. Translated as "twilight of the gods," the name was pulled from Albert Speers' memoir, "Inside the Third Reich." The album received praise from fans and critics alike, including NME, Concrete and GodisintheTV.

Tracks have been featured on England's main radio station, BBC Radio One (as part of a show "In New Music We Trust," well known for playing breakthrough artists), Radio Norfolk, Future Radio and German Public Radio Norddeutscher Rundfunk.

The band was recently voted as one of the best bands to play at Norwich's award-winning "B2" and earned them a spot on a second Nrone records-produced compilation album, released in 2007.

In March 2008 .Sub embarked on a US tour to promote their second EP, Oxytocin, which was scheduled for release June 2008. Unhappy with the sound of the EP, Chamberlain decided to scrap the demo sessions and has turned to Grammy award winning producer Bob Kulick to re-work the songs.
