MY THOUGHTS ON SUBWASTE:
Subwaste is a Swedish punk band that formed back in 2006. Their very first release was an EP called "Straight Out Of The Underground" which came out in 2007. After some splits and compilation appearances, the band emerged with their debut full length studio album in 2012, "Broken Machine". It would be six years before Subwaste released their sophomore full length, but finally in 2018, "Enemy Within" was released through their own label. Heavily influenced by the punk rock movement in 1977, as well as the street punk scene happening in America, Subwaste mixed a little of both of those styles to come up with their own. The first song I heard by Subwaste was "Warehouse" from their "Broken Machine" album back in 2012. I'm not quite sure where I found out about this band, if it was from a friend or a website or from a little birdy in the sky! Being from Boston and the fact we love our street punk here, perhaps I saw them open for someone, Street Dogs or Far From Finished? Who knows. Pretty solid band for sure.
