Press Reviews
Baltimore City Paper vol. 24 #35 Aug 30-Sept 6 2000from: Generation Next by Anna Ditkoff...Next comes the show-stopper, Subsist, a ska band with a punk edge. This band has so much fun that even the most ardent ska cynics find themselves pumping their fists in the air by the end of its set. Singer Tim Conneally is a great frontman, comfortable with goofy dancing and mugging. The sextet packs the stage, barely avoiding running into one another as they jump around. The horn players (Conneally's brother Sean on trombone and Allen Windsor on trumpet) do a great job, adding to melodies and providing spot-on accents to the songs. Brian Goodman's punk-flavored guitar lines keep the band firmly rooted in rock, and the tight rhythm section of Jason Cavallaro (bass) and Garth Olcese (drums) makes the songs fast and punchy. With the whole band and audience dancing like maniacs, the set's energy is amazing. It's easy to see why this Bel Air-based group has a hard-core fan base of teenagers who insist on following Subsist wherever they play. "My TV" is one of the band's signature upbeat ska songs, but it also includes a hard and heavy mosh section that drives the crowd wild. Subsist also does a fun cover of the early-'60s pop hit "Runaround Sue" and a hard-rockin love song titled "World to Me." But the most enjoyable thing about Subsist is their sincerity; the lyrics are simple and Conneally sings each word like he means it. Subsist ends with its hit-worthy sing-along "Subject to Change." Anyone who's been in a band can identify with the lyrics: "You ask me why, why i want to quit/ you took the fun out of it/hey! hey! hey!" Fortunately, Subsist dosen't have that problem, they put the fun back in.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baltimore City Paper vol. 24, #34 Aug 23-30 2000taken from: Where's The Party? looking for fun in Baltimore's under 21 nightlife wasteland by Anna Ditkoff and Anne RayOn a Tuesday night, the narrow room on the second floor of a Sowebo business is packed with teenagers listening to a band grind out punk rock through a crappy PA. The paint is peeling, the walls are pocked with holes and the drums drown out the other instruments, but no one seems to care...A band called Subsist is playing punk-edged ska, and the most enthusiastic audience members are throwing each other around in time to the music. A lone boy guards the PA to keep it from being destroyed by flying limbs. As 10 p.m. approaches, the band winds down its set. "This is gonna be our last song, because people have to be in by curfew, which in my neighborhood is 8:15," Lead singer Tim Conneally says. He's only half-joking--a lot of the crowd does have curfews or provisional driver's liscences. Like punk-rock Cinderellas, they have to be home before midnight.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Aegis Wednesday, July 26, 2000. 144th yr no 59Bel Air band makes big timeby Jennifer Hutt Aegis StaffFor most garage band musicians, getting to jump into a tour alongside the likes of nationally known acts like Green Day, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, NOFX, and the Long Beach Dub Allstars is nothing more than a dream.But for the six members of Subsist, a ska and punk band that began forming five years ago at C. Milton Wright High School, that deam has come true.Subsist- including songwriter and guitarist Brian Goodman, vocalist Tim Conneally, bassist Jason Cavallaro, trumpeter Allen Windsor, trombonist Sean Conneally, and drummer Garth Olcese- was invited to play Tuesday in the Vans Warped tour, a pop music tour which combines music with skateboarding."We entered a contest which we read about in the City Paper, sent some music, a biography and some pictures," Goodman said this week."Thursday night there was a message to come play," he added.The contest was sponsored by Ernie Ball, a company that sells guitar strings and instruments."There's no way to know how many entered, but they chose seven or eight bands to play out of the whole of D.C., Maryland, Virginia area," Goodman said, adding, "I was really excited. I've been going to the Warped tour for four or five years. It was a dream to be able to play it."The band had to report to the Nissan Pavillion in Bristow, Va-where the concert is being staged- at 8:30 am. Tuesday. Members were scheduled to play at 1:30 pm. on one of five stages set up for the tour.Winning the Ernie Ball contest was especially exciting for the members of Subsist, Goodman said, because the band entered a contest earlier this year sponsored by radio station 99.1 WHFS-FM and lost to local band Laughing Colors."Now we're there anyway," said Goodman, laughing. He admitted there was a sense of competition between members of both bands during the WHFS contest.Subsist, which plays two or three times a month in Baltimore area clubs including the Recher Theater, the 8x10 and Daytona's, gets its name "from our 12th grade vocabulary group," Goodman said."we like what the word meant: to exist on the lowest level, to survive with the least amount, get by barely with what you have," he said.The group recorded a compact disc of original music entitled "two player simultaneous action" about two years ago; 1,000 copies were made and all have been sold. The group's music no doubt appeal to members of its twenty something generation. From songs about love and social issues, to songs about video games, Subsist composer Goodman- an Aegis Summer correspondent- dosen't limit himself to subject matter."When we started the band, we were 17, and now we're all 20 and 21. That's a changing time in people's lives. Our songs are a lot about that," Goodman said.After recording a new demo tape, the band is getting ready to cut a full-length album either this fall or winter."It will be the biggest thing we've done," Goodman said. "We're going to use a real studio and take our time. Hopefully, we'll get noticed."-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiled Whine Zine Issue #11SUBSIST/CHAOTIX-2 PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS ACTION!
