History

After releasing a few underground club hits as You Make Me Spill, Fuck That Shit and Substracktion, the raw punktrance track "Kiss My Trance" made them break through in 2008.[1]

The song quickly made its way into the commercial tops as well as in the record boxes of DJs like Boys Noize, T. Raumschmiere, Laurent Garnier and Tiësto. The band also made remixes for Alex Gopher, The Lotterboys, Plump Dj's, Telex, Cassius.[2][3]

After the success of the single, The Subs started to tour and play live, with a DJ booth as rhythm section. They are known for their energetic live performances, and played in clubs in London, Paris, Madrid en Barcelona, Australia, Thailand, but also in festivals such as Bestival, Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Global Gathering en Dour Festival, Tomorrowland, I Love Techno, Future Music Festival. In 2008 The Subs released their debut album Subculture.

They got arrested by the police once for driving into a shopping mall with mopeds, during a 16 hour trip from Ghent to Paris on those mopeds.[4]

In 2011, they released a second album called Decontrol.[5] The first single of the album "Face Of The Planet" became Gold in Belgium.[6]

In between the first and the second album they also made a track called "The Pope Of Dope" together with "The Party Harders". This was their first Belgian golden single.[7]

With their single "Zanna" (together with Tom Barman from dEUS and Selah Sue) they had their third golden single.
