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.
Take Your Time
Subb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I've been chillin' with a couple of my friends
I have no choice but to ignore that
You've been waiting for an answer all night long
With all the lies can you tell me
Why are you listening to me all along
And I'm trying to, I'm trying to tell you now
That I am really fuckin' scared
And think twice before you fail
You better use my line
Or they will take you down to jail"
In Subb's song "Take Your Time," the singer is speaking to someone he has been spending time with and is faced with a difficult decision. He has been hanging out with some friends, but this person has been waiting for an answer all night. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been dishonest with this person and is feeling guilty about it. Despite this, he tries to push the blame onto the listener by asking why they have been listening to him for so long.
The singer then reveals that he is scared, possibly of getting caught or facing consequences for his actions. The listener then gives a piece of advice, that the singer should take his time and think before he fails. They suggest that he use their line to avoid getting in trouble. The lyrics suggest that the decision is a difficult one, with the singer feeling trapped between the wrong decision and the fear of consequences.
Line by Line Meaning
I have no choice but to tell you
I feel compelled to communicate with you
That I've been chillin' with a couple of my friends
I have been spending time with my peers
I have no choice but to ignore that
I feel obligated to disregard your request
You've been waiting for an answer all night long
You have been anticipating a response for an extended period of time
With all the lies can you tell me
Considering the deceit you have spoken, may I ask
Why are you listening to me all along
Why have you been paying attention to me
And I'm trying to, I'm trying to tell you now
I am endeavoring to inform you at the moment
That I am really fuckin' scared
I am profoundly afraid
You said, "You better take your time
You stated, 'It is wise to proceed deliberately'
And think twice before you fail
And contemplate your choices before making an error
You better use my line
It is advantageous to employ my strategy
Or they will take you down to jail"
Otherwise, you may be apprehended and imprisoned

In my opinion, this song is not about domestic violence. This song isn't even about controlling relationships, and how difficult it is to leave. No, the situation in the video was just an extreme example of the message Sam Hunt is trying to portray.
In my eyes, this song is simply about being a human being before being a lover. Wanting to help someone because you CARE, not because you want a significant other (or just want to get in their pants).
Our society today is so revolved around having a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I don't get it. Even when a child is as young as 12 or 13, they can feel the pressure from their peers to start dating! It's insane. And then in your late 20s and 30s, it's about the pressure to get married. And then people ask if you've thought about having children yet.
And then you want to start screaming and running, because everyone's trying to tell you how to live your life, even if they're not coming out directly and saying it.
Our lives are moving so quickly that we are jumping to the destination before even starting the journey. But why? Why do you need to have a boyfriend by 14? Why are you a loser if you haven't gotten your first kiss by 18? Why do you get judged when an unexpectedly pregnancy occurs and you don't get married? Why? What's the rush?
At the same time... why do we ignore people who clearly need help? Why don't we intervene? "Sorry I have to go to work." "Sorry I have to get home." "Sorry I have a kid in the car." "Sorry I have a party to go to." "Sorry, someone else will do it."
...
When do the excuses run out?
When do we stop and
take
our
time?
The message in this song is to slow down. Enjoy life. Enjoy people. Help people for the sake of being a good person. Take your time, because you may miss the most important and defining moments of your life (or someone else's life) if you don't.

I don't know if you were looking at me or not
You probably smile like that all the time
And I don't mean to bother you but
I couldn't just walk by
And not say, "Hi"
And I know your name
'Cause everybody in here knows your name
And you're not looking for anything right now
So I don't wanna come on strong
Don't get me wrong
Your eyes are so intimidating
My heart is pounding but
It's just a conversation
No, girl I'm not wasted
You don't know me
I don't know you but I want to
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
I don't wanna wreck your Friday
I ain't gonna waste my lines
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time
And I know it starts with "Hello"
And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice
And some guy's getting too close
Trying to pick you up
Trying to get you drunk
And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here
'Cause she's supposed to save you from random guys
That talk too much and wanna stay too long
It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well
You could've rolled your eyes
Told me to go to hell
Could've walked away
But you're still here
And I'm still here
Come on let's see where it goes
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
I don't have to meet your mother
We don't have to cross that line
I don't wanna steal your covers
I just wanna take your time
I don't wanna go home with you
I just wanna be alone with you
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
I don't wanna blow your phone up
I just wanna blow your mind
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time
No, I ain't gotta call you baby
And I ain't gotta call you mine
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time
