About Me

"The Subterraneans sound is a mercurial, intoxicating blend of mellow, hypnotic melodies and poetic rap vocals. Their lyrics are honest, reflective, at times introspective, shot through with rich, evocative imagery. Their music is innovative and instrumentally diverse, from guitars and keyboards to melodica, lap steel, and even a giant empty Poland Spring bottle. The Subterraneans don’t sample other material: all the compositions are completely original and arranged by Eric and Josh. The entire debut album was written, produced and recorded by The Subterraneans at Wednesday Studios." --------------- The Subterraneans: Created by 2 members...Josh Powers and Eric Collins.Music: Completely original (although it must be influenced by our lives...other bands....I mean, whoever says their music is not...LIES)We take time writing, trying new instruments, producing, and experimenting.Our First True Release: "A BELLOW BELOW" Is finished and available on our new ONLINE STORE and on iTUNES!!Every single bit of support is very much appreciated.Also available: Boxwood "The Secret Life of Rocks"....unreal acoustic/indie/experimental album sure to make you feel what Jose Ferrer (Boxwood) has accomplished with his unorthadox guitar playing, melodies and lyrics....mmmmmmmm....
