Submarine Races March 27, 2008

Submarine Races are a threesome of arty rocker-types from Chicago. Started in vain by guitarist/vocalist/explorist Ian Adams (Happy Supply, The Ponys), drummer/seaman Paul John Higgins (Red Eyed Legends), and bassist/best mate Steve Denekas (Entertainment, The Countdown) the 'Races are off to a clean start. Borrowing freely from the entire Easybeats catalogue, commandeering the Modern Lovers' understated efficiency, and all but sleeping with the entirety of mid-to-late 1980's twee British guitar-pop bands, Submarine races have managed to make a signature sound that is both derivative and authentic at once.
