The Submarines

The Submarines were formed in Glasgow in 1986. After gigging around town and opening for the likes of Primal Scream and Felt they released their debut single on Jeff Barrett's (Heavenly records, Sub Aqua records) Head Records in 1987. This “Grey Skies Blue” single reached a highest indie chart position of number 10 and spent 9 weeks on the chart. The flip side was “I Saw The Children”. At some point in 1989 The Submarines changed their name to The Compass Flow, recording a session for the BBC Janice Long Show and an unreleased album ('Bush Telegraph') for Glass Records. Members were Scott Blain (Drums), Brian Kane (Guitar), Craig Keaney (Bass), and Paul MacNeil (Guitar, vocal).
