The Verve在2008年發(fā)行了他們時隔多年重組后的新專輯《Forth》，緊接著好景不長，失而復(fù)得的樂隊又解散了。成員Nick McCabe和Simon Jones走到了一起，組建了新樂隊The Black Ships，并且于2009年開始活動。樂隊成員最先開始由4名成員組成，分別是Nick McCabe，Simon Jones，Davide Rossi， Mig Schillace。其中Davide Rossi則是他們的老朋友了，曾與The Verve，Coldplay，Goldfrapp等藝人合作過。2008年時參與過The Verve的復(fù)出專輯《Forth》的制作， “Love Is Noise”和”Sit And Wonder”中的小提琴部分就是由Davide Rossi的電子小提琴完成。就這樣4人組以Davide Rossi 為主唱，樂隊以The Black Ships為名于2011年發(fā)行了首張EP《Kurofune》。到了2012年樂隊與Amelia Tucker有了合作，并且在4月份將樂隊名字改為Black Submarine。同時女主唱Amelia Tucker的加入，樂隊Black Submarine也算是走向了正規(guī)，Davide Rossi與Amelia Tucker同時擔(dān)任主唱。樂隊的處女作《New Shores》聽起來沒有陌生感，并且曾經(jīng)三位是The Verve的人?！禢ew Shores》也算是吉他搖滾的迷幻盛宴，歌曲長度6分鐘以上的占了一大半。開篇曲作為引導(dǎo)曲自然不必多說，緊著接的“Here So Rain”將你帶入到Black Submarine規(guī)劃的迷幻世界里，成了一首炫耀吉他技巧的歌曲。”Move Me a Mountain“出現(xiàn)讓人意外，清脆的木吉他，Amelia Tucker原生態(tài)的演唱，與專輯前面歌曲渲染氛圍格格不入，卻又讓人挑不出毛病。”Lover”是我覺得專輯中最為深情款款，情意濃濃的歌，Davide Rossi和Amelia Tucker倆人搭配的也好，一唱一合，打動人心。當(dāng)聽完整張專輯后，對于磨練出來的《New Shores》也就不那么的咄咄逼人，他們無需做到什么傳世佳作，也無需證明他們的技藝有多么的嫻熟，就聽一份煙花一現(xiàn)，云煙繚繞，迷迷糊糊的過去得了。

Black Submarine, previously known as The Black Ships until mid 2012, are an English rock band formed in November 2008 by former Verve members Nick McCabe and Simon Jones, Coldplay/Goldfrapp collaborator Davide Rossi and drummer Mig Schillace.
Electric violinist Davide Rossi, who also featured on The Verve's 2008 reunion album Forth, shared the stage with the band at festivals including V and Glastonbury Festival. Drummer Mig Schillace, who has also worked with Portishead, was a collaborator of McCabe in previous musical incarnations such as 'Field Theory'. The band started rehearsing in Copenhagen before deciding on the band name in March/April 2009 and released their long awaited debut EP Kurofone in June 2011. The band also made their live debut in June 2011 at King's College Students Union in London, featuring a host of different vocalists including Amelia Tucker, David McKellar and Charley Bickers. The band also contributed a version of Rope Soul'd to the John Martyn tribute album "Johnny Boy Would Love This: A Tribute To John Martyn" released in August 2011. In April 2012 the band changed their name to "Black Submarine" following a dispute with a US band, a self published electronic duo, who trademarked the name in April 2011, 2 years after the band was formed.
