Old School Punk/Mod/Punk/Punk

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator The New Subterraneans are an old school punk outfit dedicated to bringing the original sound of punk with a tinge of mod back to the fore. The band formed in the autumn of 2001 in Stoke-On-Trent.
Having remembered punk the first time round, we feel more than qualified to present our form of old school punk to an audience. On stage our personas can be described as workman like, as the music is quite intense and abrasive not to mention very very loud live ! ( I've had people say to me that we are very loud considering our age ) ! Our set consists of mainly original material with one or two obscure covers thrown in for good measure. Our sound has it's roots in '76-'77 era but with a 21st century way of thinking. We like to think our sound isn't cultivated or contrived in any way, it's the way we like to think we might've sounded had we formed in '77.
We have done numerous gigs in and around the Stoke-on-Trent area. We have ventured outside Stoke on the odd occasion. We've also had the honour of having supported legendary bands such as The Vibrators, Vice Squad, 999, Spear of Destiny & the mighty Hugh Cornwell. At present we are hoping to go into the studio to do more tracks for a CD when the opportunity arrives. We hope you get the time to listen & comment. If you're a Stoke resident then look out for our gigs. Ta & all that
