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!
Miles Away
Subscribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enemy snugged into your head nothing has changed until now
Was it a long long time ago when she were guiding us to the moon?
Enemy snugged into her head something turned and changed for now.
Was it all gone. Was it all fall down?
You can’t hear the sound when the world brakes down!
You can’t hear a sound when a world brakes down!
We didn’t hear the sound of your breakdown!
My friend, I wish we could…!
The opening lines of Subscribe's song "Miles Away" seem to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past when humans first set foot on the moon, possibly even before the singer's time. The fact that they ask if it was a long time ago and if it was a time when they were on the moon indicates that they were not there firsthand. The second and third lines of the verse talk about an enemy, someone or something that has been stuck in their head and has remained unchanged until now. The repetition of the phrase "nothing has changed until now" reinforces this idea, as if something significant has happened that has shaken the singer's perception of the world in relation to the past.
The second verse of the song employs similar imagery, but with a different focus. It talks about a woman who guided them to the moon in the past but who now has something that's turned and changed for now. It is unclear what this change might be, but the emphasis on the word "turned" suggests that it might be something negative, a reversal of some kind. The chorus of the song, "You can't hear a sound when a world breaks down," speaks to the idea that significant events can happen without anyone realizing it until it's too late. The final lines of the song express an almost regretful sentiment, wishing that the singer could have somehow been there for their friend's breakdown, though they are clearly powerless to do anything about it now.
Overall, "Miles Away" paints a picture of a world in transition, where the past is not as rosy as it might seem, and events are occurring that might have serious consequences for the future.

Igen igen jó együttes, a számaik is jók, csak nekem valahogy túl magasnak tűnik az énekes hangja, ezért ...nem mondanám hogy nem tetszik, mivel a számok hangszerelés minden jó, de mégsem nyújtja azt a kellemes hanghatást, és kellemes érzést zenehallgatás közben. De attól függetlenül sok sikert kívánok nekik a továbbiakban! :)

Azt nem vágom, miért dislike-olja valaki... Miért van egyáltalán itt a videón, ha nem tetszik neki és csak lehúzni tudja?
