Sub Sub

Sub Sub were an English dance act from Handforth, Cheshire, composed of Jimi Goodwin and twin brothers Andy and Jez Williams. The trio met at school in 1985 and became regulars at The Haçienda while composing their own material together. Their first release was the underground 12" single "Space Face" in 1991. Sub Sub gained moderate commercial success in the early 1990s on Rob Gretton's label Rob's Records, including the single "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" featuring guest vocalist Melanie Williams, which reached Number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album, Full Fathom Five, was released in September 1994 and included notable tracks such as "Respect" and "This Time I'm Not Wrong". The band's unique sound, blending elements of pop music with dance beats, resonated with audiences and critics alike. Following a fire that destroyed their recording studio on Blossom Street in the Ancoats area of Manchester on the Williams twins' birthday in 1996, Sub Sub disbanded. After disbanding, Jimi Goodwin and Jez Williams formed Doves in 1998, an indie-oriented act with a more guitar-driven sound. An unreleased collection of tracks meant to be featured on the band's second album was later issued post-split as Delta Tapes in February 1998 under Cortex Records.
