SUBMARINE RACES ARE A THREESOME OF ARTY ROCKER-TYPES FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. STARTED BY GUITARIST/VOCALIST IAN ADAMS (HAPPY SUPPLY, THE PONYS), DRUMMER PAUL JOHN HIGGINS, AND BASSIST STEVE DENEKAS (ENTERTAINMENT, THE COUNTDOWN), THE 'RACES BORROW FREELY FROM THE ENTIRE EASYBEATS CATALOGUE, COMMANDEER THE MODERN LOVERS' UNDERSTATED EFFICIENCY, AND ALL BUT SLEEP WITH THE ENTIRETY OF MID-TO-LATE 1980'S TWEE, BRITISH GUITAR-POP BANDS. SUBMARINE RACES' SIGNATURE SOUND IS BOTH CALCULATED TO BE DERIVATIVE AND ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC. FOR FANS OF THE PONYS, FLAMIN GROOVIES, JOY DIVISION, LATE 80S / EARLY 90S CREATION RECORDS, AND JONATHAN RICHMAN!
SUBMARINE RACES? SELF-TITLED DEBUT RELEASE WAS RECORDED IN CHICAGO AT EL GOODO AUDIO. THEY EVEN USED THE SONAR RECORDING TECHNOLOGY FOUND IN THE SOVIET ALPHA CLASS DIESEL-ELECTRIC ATTACK SUBMARINES! NO JOKE. THE BAND HOPE TO SELL AN IMMEASURABLE AMOUNT OF RECORDS, AS LONG AS PIRACY (BOTH ON THE INTERNET AND AT SEA) IS KEPT AT BAY. NEVERTHELESS, THEIR POPULARITY IS SURELY SURFACING ?SUPPORTING TOP ACTS SUCH AS THE DIRTBOMBS, MAXIMO PARK, AND THE SIGHTS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THEIR EXISTENCE, THE ?RACES? REPUTATION FOR ROCKING AND PASSIONATE LIVE APPEARANCES HAS LEAD TO CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE AT SUBSEQUENT HEADLINING SHOWS. WHEN THEY AREN?T ?JAMMING,? MEMBERS OF SUBMARINE RACES ENJOY MAKING OUT, NECKING, HANGING OUT AT SAILOR BARS, AND WATCHING DENEKAS?S VHS COPY OF DAS BOOT.
