BRISBANE – QLD
Eccentric, post-punk, rock & roll is the calling card of Brisbane based band The Submariners. Emerging in early 2010, they wasted no time for pleasantries, instead diving face first into the local underground music scene.
After many hours locked away in the studio with talented producer, and good friend Joshua Tuck, they are now proud to announce the upcoming release of their debut EP - Don't Chase Her.
The Submariners’ have taken influence from the same grungy, hot & harsh environment that served incubator to some of Brisbane's biggest & most iconic sounds, and combined them with each member's personal taste to create a sound that is all together a truly refreshing earful.
The Submariners are: Nicholas Hew on guitar and lead vocals; Siena Hart on bass and backing vocals; and Leigh Hughes on drums.
Guided by each member's widely varied musical backgrounds and inspired by an adverse reaction to the Indie Rock bands that lavish the shores of the Brisbane music scene, their resolve was to simply make music with substance and sex appeal.
With Nicholas fronting the threesome, the songs convey a strong British post-punk feel, combining his wistful lyrics with smooth, controlled vocals and raunchy, erratic guitar riffs.
Siena brings her own influences to the table, with prominent bass lines and backing vocals ranging from badass riot girl to seductive 50's Rn'B songstress. Leigh's north-London upbringing shines through in his unique style of drumming which encompasses both his new-wave influences and his love of straight-up British rock.

The Submariners live set is rapidly gaining reputation as being an ever-evolving performance. Combining dark lyrical themes with have-to-move rock n' roll while still clearly having the time of their lives on stage, The Submariners live performance is one that demands attention.
When asked where he sees The Submariners' sound heading in the years to come, Nicholas replied: "We like to keep our audiences guessing. In November, after the EP launch, we are taking time out to check out the music scene in London, Paris and Berlin. We want to keep our sets always new and exciting, see if we can't bring back some fresh influences."
Don’t Chase Her showcases the band’s talent for putting together songs, which, as diverse as they are, work in harmony with one another. Comprising of just three well-endowed tracks, the EP lures you in, shows you a good time and lets you down gently.
The title track Don't Chase Her has been compared to post-punk bands of the late seventies such as Joy Division and The Cure with it's wistful vocals resonating over a driving drum and bass pulse.
Seduce Me, which begins a lustful cabaret, moves seamlessly into a raunchy, guitar-screaming, garage number that grabs you by the shoulders and shakes your bones.
Sucker For Love is a different beast again. Sultry, and slow burning, it reels you in, inviting the listener to become part of the narrative. In true Submariner style it includes highs and lows that keep you on edge throughout.
