Subscribe was founded in January 1999. Founder members were: Máté Tilk (vocals), Attila Horváth (guitar), Tamás Reich (guitar), Miklós Anga-Kis (bass) and Attila Rékasi (drums). The band is called Subscribe since Bálint Csongor (vocals) joined the band in 2000. After a vast number of shows and festivals, their first record Sanity Has Left The Building was finished and released in December 2004 on EDGE records. The first preview show for the album resulted in a sold-out party in Budapest's most popular alternative club Kultiplex. Since then they continuously play the main stages of all major festivals in Hungary (Sziget, Volt, Hegyalja, etc.)
To show their respect for Rage Against The Machine, the band members formed a tribute band called Guilty Parties in 2004, which also draws large crowds to their shows, as it is above the high standards and measures. The band's singer Balint also hosts Hungary's most popular online rock/metal TV-show Kettonegy, in which he interviews the biggest bands of the international metal scene.
Subscribe's main aim is the recognition on the European and International music scene. In summer 2005 they did a European club tour with Pro-Pain. Their first album was released in the Benelux countries and Germany. 2 Romanian tours followed in 2006 and also gigs with DEFTONES, MESHUGGAH, KATATONIA, NIGHTWISH, PAIN, BEATSTEAKS and CLAWFINGER throughout Europe.
In April 2007 they started recording their second full length album, STUCK PROGRESS TO MOON, which was released in November 2007 in dual-disc format (album + a full length concert DVD). With this album in January 2008 they won the "Fonogram" award (the biggest Hungarian music award) and it became "Modern Rock Album of the Year 2007". They also won the award for the best studio job (best sound) at the Hungarian Metal Awards. The video for "The Weight Of Oneness" became one of the most frequently broadcasted videos on Hungarian MTV and leading MTV's Rock Chart in March.
In February 2009 the band celebrated their 10th birthday at one of Budapest's biggest concert venues: Petőfi Csarnok with capacity of more than 2000 people. The gig was sold out. During that summer, at Hegyalja festival's Metal Hammer stage Subscribe opened for MACHINE HEAD, driving 30.000 people crazy. At Azfeszt they opened for SKINDRED. At one of Europe's biggest festivals Sziget Festival, they headlined the main stage on the "Rock Against Racism Day" organized by the British Council. The singer Balint joined the "RAR band" to perform a song in front of 40.000 people with huge success. At the end of 2009 the band released Contradictions, a 3 track EP + the 10th anniversary concert and home-video DVD as Christmas present for the fans.
2010 again begun with a headlining tour through whole Hungary, on which they only played venues with adequate sound and size. The two usual Budapest gigs (in spring at A38, in autumn at Gödör) were certainly sold out.
After spending 4 months in their rehearsal room and flats writing their third album, in January 2011 - excluding the outside world - they moved into Hungary's best equipped studio SuperSize Recording to record 11 brand new songs. During the studio works they continuously updated their fans through short videos from the studio. The album Bookmarks was released at the end of March in a deluxe book-package, including a DVD with studio and 2010 summer festival-footage. The Bookmarks tour started in April 2011 and was sold-out everywhere. In the summer, besides opening for DEFTONES at Sziget Festival, they performed a very special show at Palace of Arts Budapest as part of the Retuned (Áthangolva in Hungarian) series accompanied by a symphonic orchestra with all their songs reworked into different styles from salsa to trip hop. In the Autumn the band took part in the Metal Perkele Tour in Finland accompanied by 4 Finnish bands, before doing another thorough Hungarian tour.
In January 2012 the Áthangolva (Retuned) CD/DVD pack was released. The album has been welcomed with favorable reviews both in Hungary and abroad.
These guys love playing live, always with a smile on their faces and always going mad on stage. They are already rock stars in Hungary, now is the time to become well-known and appreciated throughout the whole world! Subscribe must be heard!

Question,boom!
Yes i never wanna get my self through of it
Question,boom!
When i wake up don't take up my blinding glasses
Question,boom!
So show me the things you've inspired by
Question,boom!
I keep goin' to the fight
Began to justify
I'm gonna identify
There's no biggest blister than I
Unreal gotta die!
Show! Shall I show you!
You know that your face so blind
Systematic part of the system
...that your face so blind
Systematic part of the system
(delay that supposed right
Program in your mind)
I wanna lick your brain, yes!!
I want to fuck, fuck your ass, yes!! :)
Here ain't no place for soul
In a world built on lies
No place for rock and roll
It's all mechanic-all
Tear me up and bring me down
I will rise from the bottom!
Original subscribe vibration!brake it down!
You know inside of us lives a nation
A full of rastaman vibration
Keep relaxin',no rush but all day sexin'
Think,esteem,tolerate,unify!
This a only real way to fly
Turn up da bass and loud up da sound
Doin'the way of da renegade front
I beat the walls of the critical rank
Rabdabadab go!
Fly!! That's the only way to fly
This depends on your mind control, what you've never shown
Watch your back and think twice now, you girl never know
Mechanic-all
The lyrics of Subscribe's song "Mechanic-All" are about rebellion against the modern world's obsession with technology and conformity. The singer seems to be questioning the blind acceptance of these things and not wanting to lose himself in it. The lyrics are full of aggression and defiance, with lines like "Tear me up and bring me down, I will rise from the bottom," suggesting a willingness to fight against the system. The singer also mentions the importance of being true to oneself and embracing individuality, with lines like "No place for rock and roll, it's all mechanic-all."
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting, as it repeats the phrase "Systematic part of the system," which suggests that the singer sees himself as a cog in the machine. However, by the end of the song, he seems to reject that notion, claiming that he will rise above it all. The lyrics are full of contradictions like this, with the singer seeming to both embrace and reject different aspects of modern society.
Overall, the lyrics of "Mechanic-All" are a call to arms for anyone who feels suffocated by the world we live in. The song encourages rebellion and individuality, while also suggesting that there is a way to rise above the noise and confusion of modern life.

Be cautious and think ahead, because you never know what might happen
