Exclusive song premiere: "What's On Your Mind" by The Subterraneans

The Subterraneans
4 August 2015

The Subterraneans were formed by guitarist Rik Mercaldi and drummer Mike Roze in the mid 1990s. After performing as a duo around NYC, the band recruited bassist Mike Curry in time to record their self-titled debut in 1998, followed by a five-song EP, 5 Tracks. The final CD with the original line-up, Close To Real, was released in 2007. With the departure of Curry, The Subterraneans were put on hiatus, but Mercaldi and Roze continued to work together in a variety of musical projects, including Rik’s self-titled solo release, a collection of acoustic-based songs recorded and produced by Juano Lippi. Recently reactivated, they are currently finishing up work on a new album to be released this fall on Pyrrhic Victory Recordings, and plan on playing some area shows as well.

They are lifers, they are very New York, and we love ‘em for it. Here’s a great song from the new LP!
