Matchbox fuse as Subways go overground
disnews by DiS News December 13th, 2004
Word on the street is that zombie rock heroes Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster have been released from their label, Universal Records.

The five-piece released two LPs in their time at the big boys, including a bunch of corking singles.

In similar news, it seems that Welwyn Garden City trio The Subways (pictured) have gone the other way and signed to Warners. The ‘blues-fried fuzz-distortion chaos-sex-rock' lot released a debut single ‘1am’ earlier this autumn and came to public attention when appearing unsigned on the Other Stage at Glastonbury this summer.

Fickle world, isn’t it?
