Like many bands, The Subjects met in high school. And probably like many prog-rock bands, they met in video production class. Unlike many bands, two of the members were students and two were teachers. They rehearsed secretly and managed to keep things under wraps until graduation. Recorded soon after, their self-produced, self-released EP received notable recognition in SPIN, Punk Planet, Music for Robots, CMJ and others. Their new full-length moves from well-crafted, high-energy moments to quiet expressions of subtle eloquence. Reckless and insightful, it is a delicate combination of youth's wide-eyed optimism and the experience of age.
