Biography
The Subtle Way was a post-hardcore band from Fremont/San Francisco/Bay Area, California, United States.
The Subtle Way got together in 2006 and after a few years of releasing 3 records (1 LP and 2 EPs), The Subtle Way traveled up to the great wet north of Seattle, Washington to record their newest album, Thus Far, The Channels Speak, with esteemed producer Casey Bates (A Skylit Drive, Chiodos, Pierce The Veil, Fear Before). This 11-song sophomore full-length album has ascended to a higher musical plane than their previous work and placed The Subtle Way in the upper stratosphere along with current heavy hitters like The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, or Saosin. Thus Far, The Channels Speak spans a range of musicianship that is rare in the rock universe, from the synth-pop-ish "The Getaway," to the more deathcore-ish "This Ain't No Fashion Show," to the anthemic "The Archer And The Alibi." For their loyal fans, there are still plenty of future genre classics like, "Hardwired And Inspired" and "Where Cowards Hide." Thus Far, The Channels Speak is the next step in The Subtle Ways' evolution of the traditional post-hardcore sound. The Subtle Way split up in 2011.
