MOG

most of the time i’m really happy to discover new and amazingly sounding bands, but from time to time i feel downright embarrassed and annoyed that i haven’t heard them before, because, seriously, i don’t discover them, they’re already there, incredible musicians performing incredible songs.. and they’ve been there for a long time, playing and recording and touring and building a fan base and… why did i not know them until now! well, suffices to say i’m annoyed by my own ignorance regarding the indie music scene, and music in general, bet that doesn’t happen to you all - - i felt particularly annoyed last week when i discovered The Subways - damn it! not discovered, just heard them playing for the first time, (on tv, of course, don’t think they’re gonna be comin to paraguay any time soon) nonetheless, they blew me away (is that the correct expression? remember people, i took esl in high school, and i’m a bit rusty) the point is, they’re really good, i mean amazingly sounding really good, and they’ve been playing for years, and until now do i hear them..

they’re from hertfordshire, england, i think, and they released their first album, young for eternity, in the spring of 2005, and form what i’ve read, the band have a pretty uncommon line-up consisting of fiancés playing guitar and bass, and also, despite the different surnames, two brothers, one being the drummer.. they’re kinda like the the von trapp family, only without the nazis and all of that.. anyheew, they’re awesome, don’t you agree?
