***Austin, TX rock / pop favorites Subset have been producing some of the most potent pop songs of the last decade, since their inception a few short years ago. Originally just a duo (made of Simon and Fish), Subset got the rounding out it needed in Silver Scooter drummer Tom Hudson, who joined the band after seeing the other two play a release show for their debut 7". Since Hudson joined the band, they've released the best rock album of the year 2000 (their debut LP, Overpass) and shared the stage with some of contemporary indie rock's best (Spoon, Wheat, Centro-Matic, Rock*a*Teens, Solex). It's not hard to hear why the accolades just keep coming either. Part of Subset's charm is their diversity, which is framed by the dueling lead vocals of Lindsey Simon and Nathan Fish. Writing roughly half of the tracks on Overpass, Simon tends toward more mainstream pop and rock writing, while Fish takes the other end of the spectrum with feedback drenched rockers, and a ballad here and there for good measure. Throw in ex-Silver Scooter drummer Tom Hudson and his extra-tight style of rock drumming, and you've got an unstoppable trio.
