Rediscovering Submarine: A Dive into Noise Pop's Hidden Gem
For the connoisseurs of '90s indie music, the name Submarine surfaces among conversations about noise pop with the same wistful nostalgia that accompanies the greats of the era. Emerging onto the vibrant English music scene of the early to mid-1990s, Submarine crafted a sound that encapsulated the experimental spirit of their contemporaries while firmly rooting themselves in their unique auditory landscape.
Inspired by the sonically adventurous bands like The Flaming Lips and My Bloody Valentine, Submarine's music is a capsule of time, emotion, and raw energy. Their approach to noise pop wasn't just about creating layers of sound; it was about building an experience. Albums put out under labels such as Ultimate and Taky Recordings represent milestones within the genre—stories told through reverb, distortion, and melody.
The band hailed from London, England, and although their window of activity—spanning 1992 to 1995—was relatively brief, they left a lasting impression. The inception of their music coincided with the rise of Electronic, Eurobeat, and EDM styles that were resonating across Europe, but Submarine was carving their path in noise pop, tendering an English twist to a sound that was mutating globally.
After the band's disbandment, Submarine evolved into Jetboy DC, a project that carries the legacy of its predecessor albeit sporadically. The echoes of Submarine's influence in Jetboy DC are impossible to ignore and represent a bridge between past and present.
For those looking to dive deeper into the Submarine experience, there's no better place than TikTok Music, where their music continues to live on, resonating with new generations and long-time fans. The digital landscapes of music streaming platforms have reshaped how we interact with music, and TikTok Music stands as a lighthouse guiding users to musical treasures like Submarine.
Engagement with music has transformed from the physical collectibles of vinyl and CDs to the digital domain, but the spirit of bands like Submarine persists.

Submarine's journey may have been a glint in the vast ocean of music, but it was a glint that caught the eyes and ears of those who were listening. They navigated the streams of noise pop with artistry and emerged as an enigmatic force that left a sound worth revisiting.
