2008 has witnessed something of a sonic tour dé force in Brighton as dirty rock and roll protagonists The Subliminals literally ripped the heart out of the buzzing Brighton unsigned bands scene with a wild mix of howling guitars, sweaty shows and what they describe as council estate filth rock.

Driven by burning energy and a gutter full of loyal fans, The Subliminals, are forging a path straight through an over populated scene of middle class students, playing their very own brand of iconic dirty rock music.

After their performance at a capacity crowd in the Ocean Rooms in May, in which they administered a large dose of seedy, adrenaline filled passion, The Subliminals firmly announced themselves as one of the most sought after unsigned acts in the UK.

This is the band you'll find advertised on tomorrow's ripped billboard posters..
