"Would make Slash take to his knees and beg for mercy"The Journal
Reviews of our debut album "My Magnificent Octopus":
"An ambitious and melodious statement of intent"* * * *
The List"An outstanding debut"MUSIC NEWS"Plenty to get your teeth into, to make you scratch your head, but also a decent amount of good solid riffing and grooves which insist you nod your head forthwith - 7/10"THE MAG"Despite some highly elaborate time and key changes, stacks of rock and jazz signatures and wave after wave of harmonies and melodies the album avoids falling into the abyss of self-indulgence, which in the wrong hands would be a real possibility."Fuse Magazine

Record Collector

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sad to say that after many years of joyous rocking in Edinburgh, Rod, Dave, Ant and Tony have gone their separate ways.
David Weigl finally succumbed to the call of the Black Forrest and set sail to seek his brethren for muchos mayhem proliferation
Tony Higgins was offered £10m to play for Aberdeen FC under 18s and decided now was the time to leave the drugs, women and partying and settle down to a quiet life in the Granite City.
Ant Law jogged all the way to London citing his reasons as, quote, "I just felt like runnin'." He now runs a bakery and massage parlour in the Docklands.
Rodrigo Braga found success as a male nurse and ran a teaching seminar on the wonders of viral prevention therapy on the micro-cosmal space array dimension converter gland.
The last recordings of Sub-Opt will be released by the pirate band Kobaya who hijacked the studio and claimed the tracks as their own. If you'd like to hear it, please visit their myspace.
to everyone who's supported us in the last 6 years - thank you all for the memories!
Keep rockin!
