The Subterraineans consisted of Dean Trotter (vocals, guitar, percussion), George Davies (guitar, vocals), Jerry Peirce (bass, vocals) and Graham Barbe (drums). The band was formed from the ashes of The Addled Eggs, so in that sense can be considered a phoenix. The Subterraineans formed in September 1986 and continued until around March 1987.
These songs were recorded when The Subterraineans had been rehearsing for about two months. They had not gigged at this point. Some of the songs are a bit rough and the quality of the recording is not great as the cassette has deteriorated over the years, but it is interesting to hear these songs nevertheless. It would seem that Graham was the chief presser of the ‘record’ button on this occasion.
