(1990 – present)

Subway to Sally was founded in Potsdam, Germany, in the early 1990s. It is a rock band with clear folk and medieval influences, later also with gothic and metal elements added to the mix. With their continuous inclusion of oriental sounds and elements of classical music (noted for instance by the use of the arrangements of the backup vocals) and the use of instruments less frequently seen in metal bands, such as bagpipes, shawm, violin, hurdy-gurdy and lute, the band has acquired the label of medieval metal. They have released 8 studio albums, two live album and two live DVD´s. Their fame is mainly in the German-speaking countries, having played only a handful of concerts outside of their “turf”.

Biography

Subway to Sally was an idea that was a long time coming. The very first concert given in the name was held in September of 1990. The band then consisted of Ingo Hampf, Bodenski, Simon, Coni (trumpet) and Guido (drums). Their first appearance onstage in the constellation with which they later recorded their first album (Album 1994), was given in the Potsdamer “Stube” in January 1992. The group had decided on needing a fiddle to complete the sound, something which brought Frau Schmitt (Silke Volland) to the band, who in turn introduced Eric Fish (Eric Hecht) on the bagpipes.

In the early years, Subway to Sally played Irish / Scottish inspired folk rock, as reflected by the tracklist of their first album, being the only album where the majority of songs are in English (for this they hired a friend to write lyrics in English).

In my view they have a strange name for a group playing music with medieval influences :D

Zu umgekehrt proportional könnte man auch antiproportional sagen btw ^^

Denn wie jeder weiß ; die Qualität der Musik verhält sich umgekehrt proportional zu ihrem Bekanntheitsgrad.

Schade, dass sie so bekannt geworden sind. Früher hats richtig Spaß gemacht, als nur wenige Leute die 3 großen deutschen Folk.-Rock-Bands kannten.

Ich find, Subway To Sally sollte sich viel mehr Zeit lassen was rauszubringen, nicht eins nach dem andern raus hauen. Das ist schlecht für die Hörer!. Vorallem für die, die nicht immer StS hören, die kommen dann nicht mehr mit.
