Taking influences from both early punk rock as well as classic ska bands, Subb has been a mainstay in the Quebec independent music scene. Their first full length release "The Highstep to Hell" came out in 1997 on Underworld Records and received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike. Now jump to March 2000, when Subb released their long awaited follow-up "Until the party ends" on Montreal's Stomp Records. This record was a new chapter in the bands young career with its mix of raw energy of punk rock with sweet stylings of ska and reggae music.
Subb have toured extensively in 2000 to support "Until the party ends". After taking part in the national Vans "State of the Union" Tour with label-mates Reset and Men O' Steel, the band went on to play the Montreal and Toronto stops of the Vans Warped Tour. Also, they have toured a lot in Quebec, Ontario and the Canadian east coast with bands such as Less Than Jake, Suicide Machines, Strung out, No Motiv, Samiam and The Planet Smashers. The videos for the singles "L.A. Beach Bum" & "All About Shane" brought their sound to a wider audience as it was put into heavy rotation on MusiquePlus and has been featured on Much Music as well as being the indie spotlight. The video for "All about Shane" reached #8 on the Top 20 and was, for 6 weeks in a row, part of the daily top 5 on MusiquePlus.
2001 started off well for the band has they played the MusiquePlus "Jam des neiges 2001" alongside Orgy and Crazy Town in front of an audience of 10 000 people. In April, Subb crossed the pond and toured Europe for 3 weeks, playing gigs all across Switzerland and Germany. As soon as they got back from Europe, they were on the road again, this time touring Canada from coast to coast with ska superstars The Planet Smashers. After the two-month tour, Subb played again at the Vans Warped tour on the local Union stage, in front of 8000 crazy fans, in Montreal and Toronto. The launch of the re-released "The Ultimate Highstep to Hell" was played in front of a sold-out crowd at Montreal's The Spectrum.
The year 2002 saw the launch of "Daylight Saving", Subb's second full length original album for STOMP Records. The record was a slight departure from their previous material, delving more into their punk roots and proving that Subb is one of the most versatile bands out there. In terms of touring, Subb headlined the very successful Molson Dry/Musique Plus 123 Punk Tour in April and May. In the summer, the band played the Ramprage event with Pennywise and played 3 dates (Boston, Montreal, Toronto)on the Vans Warped Tour on the Union Stage. Not content to sit still, the band headlined another tour, this time across the country with labelmates Fifty Nutz and then did a regional Quebec and Ontario tour with Big Wig. Subb put out 3 videos from this record, "Daylight Saving", the title track, "Twenty-One" and "Out of the line." "Twenty-One" received airplay on Musique Plus, Much Music and Much Loud. "Out of the Line" was also added into rotation on MuchLoud.
Now jump to April 2006, when the band's latest album "The Motions" came out on STOMP records. Their 4th full length album was recorded at Piccolo studios in Montreal (The Sainte Catherines, Voivod, Simple Plan, etc …) and produced by Frank Joly. With the release of The Motions, Subb is set to raise the bar a lot bit higher, mixing their distinctive brand of melodic punk rock with reggae, ska and even a little hardcore just for good measure. Phehomenal production and insightful songwriting round out what will prove to be their finest album to date.
The band has been working extremely hard over the last months to support this release, and the videos for the single "The Motions" has been added to heavy rotation on MusiquePlus and MuchMusic, while MuchLoud, Edge TV and MTV Canada has featured the video several times.
Subb have also been touring extensively in 2006. The band took part of the national 2006 GRIND tour last May, with Mad Caddies, Satanic Surfers, The Loved ones and label-mates The Resistance. In the summer, they played several dates in Quebec and Ontario to support their new album "The Motions" and will also be playing the Toronto and Montreal stops of the Vans Warped Tour.
For this coming year, Subb will continue touring as much as possible, and will shoot a new video for the next single.

Subb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It took a second, though it felt like a day
I want you closer, closer than you are now
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
If somehow, you feel to complain
I'm here just watching over you
It takes more than assumptions
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
Just say something, anything at all
I'm used to i won't take the fall
If somehow you fail
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
Then stay close to me maybe i'll try to take you through
Take you through on another day
Another day..."
The lyrics of Subb's song Lifetime revolve around the theme of distance and communication. The first verse starts with the singer acknowledging that it has been a long time since they expressed their feelings for someone they care about. They talk about how time seems to standstill when they're with this person and they want to be closer than they are now. But despite their desire to be closer, they lament that their conversations do not seem to lead anywhere significant.
The second verse talks about the singer's willingness to support this person, even when they complain, and their desire to understand their point of view. They reminisce about a moment when this person was present, but it was fleeting, and it all burnt away. They urge this person to say something, anything, and assure them that they won't take the fall.
The song ends with the singer offering support to this person if they fail and if they just try to make it through the day. They ask them to stay close, promising to take them through on another day.
Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulties of maintaining and deepening relationships, especially when communication is not effective. The singer seems to be struggling to connect with this person despite their feelings for them.

It's been a lifetime since i told you i care
It has been a very long time since I expressed my love for you
It took a second, though it felt like a day
Even though it felt like forever, it only took a moment to realize my love for you
I want you closer, closer than you are now
I desire a deeper connection between us, closer than what we currently have
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
Our discussions seem to be going nowhere and not bringing us any closer to each other
If somehow, you feel to complain
If you ever feel the need to voice any complaints or concerns
I'm here just watching over you
I am here for you, and watching out for you
It takes more than assumptions
It requires more than just guessing or assuming to truly understand your perspective
To make me understand your point
In order for me to truly comprehend your point of view
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
It has been a very long time since the day you entered my life
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
It felt like everything was gone in a mere blink of an eye
Just say something, anything at all
Please speak up, even if it's just a small thing
I'm used to, I won't take the fall
I am used to certain things and won't take the blame or punishment for something that isn't my fault
If somehow you fail
If you somehow stumble or falter
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
If you are struggling to just get through the day
Then stay close to me, maybe I'll try to take you through
Stay near me and perhaps I can help guide you through your struggles
Take you through on another day
I will be here for you and help you through another difficult day

Éste tema va dedicado a las personas que llegué a perder en el transcurso de mi vida, "pensé que los tendría para toda la vida".

yo perdi hacen ya 4 meses a quien me vio crecer. me educó y crió como mejor pudo. incluso luego de pasar a ser adulto aún seguia orientandome y guiandome por el camino correcto. y siento esa impotencia pues no espere y nunca pensé en perderla tan pronto. pensé que también me vería envejecer...
