Geschichte

Die beiden Bandmitglieder John Dragonetti und Blake Hazard lernten sich damals noch als Solokünstler in Boston kennen und wurden ein Paar. Ihre Beziehung endete jedoch 2004, als sie nach Los Angeles zogen.

After the break-up, both Hazard and Dragonetti continued writing songs, and because Hazard still recorded her music in Dragonetti's home studio, the pair quickly discovered the songs they had written were about each other and their sadness in having broken up. Knowing this, the duo decided to work on a few songs together and eventually got back together. The songs that they had worked on together were mastered for the couple as a wedding present, and those tracks eventually became their first album. Hazard, who is the great-granddaughter of American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, has said of the relationship, "It’s hard, definitely hard. Luckily we are like-minded aesthetically and musically." Declare a New State!, The Submarines' first album, is what came out of these recording sessions was released in 2006 on the Nettwerk label.

The Submarines covered The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry" for American Laundromat Records tribute compilation "Just Like Heaven - a tribute to The Cure". The Wedding Present, Joy Zipper, Dean & Britta, and The Rosebuds also contributed tracks to the project. The tribute's official release date is January 27, 2009.
