August, the height of summer, "schools out", to quote a Mr A Cooper, who was amazing at Sonisphere by the way, so we here at R13 decided to go for a nice band which the whole family can enjoy together (David Cameron would be proud of us). So, with that we take great pleasure in introducing our August Band of the Month, Subset.
I am sure the prime minister will be even happier to hear that Subset are back to basics type of band, they play loud, hard and quite frankly, pretty damn well. There is real talent in this four piece and they don’t let you down with their live show either.
We let front man, Romain Daste, tell us all about their family values and hope Mr Cameron pays particular attention to the final question:

If you were the prime minister for one day, what would you do:
I would get Joe Pesci the Deputy PM because he seems like the kind of guy who gets things done! I would then open up #10 & #11 for the best squat party on record!
