==Career==
Peter Bradley formed Subcircus in late 1994. The rest of the band was made up of Nikolaj Bloch ([[guitar]]), whom Bradley found through an advert in ''[[Melody Maker]]'', the latter's [[drum]]ming friend and [[Denmark|Danish]] compatriot Tommas Arnby, and George Brown ([[bass guitar|bass]]).

Their first [[concert]] was in [[York]], [[England]] in 1995. By May 1996, Subcircus had played more than 150 shows throughout the [[United Kingdom|UK]], headlining two [[nightclub]] [[concert tour|tours]] and opening for [[Echo & the Bunnymen]], [[Suede (band)|Suede]], [[Elvis Costello]], [[Grant Lee Buffalo]], [[Stereophonics]] and [[Ocean Colour Scene]].

Their debut [[album]], ''Carousel'', was recorded in London at [[Air Lyndhurst|AIR Studios]], and at [[Peter Gabriel]]'s [[Real World Studios]] in [[Bath, Somerset]]. It was issued in the UK by the [[independent record label|independent]] Echo [[record label|label]] in 1996, and drew critical raves from the UK [[music journalism|press]].{{Which|date=February 2011}} Through 1997 the band released the [[Single (music)|singles]] "86'd" and "U Love U". Later in the year, "86'd" was re-released along with the album which featured a new track sequence. "I heard them on [[Steve Lamacq|the Evening Session]] and I thought they sounded fantastic," remarked [[Radiohead]]'s [[Ed O'Brien]]. "I've listened to the album a couple of times and I still can't hear that they sound like us, not at all."<ref>{{cite journal|first= Caitlin |last= Moran |author-link= Caitlin Moran |title= "I'm so glad they're getting more radio play than us." |magazine= [[Select (magazine)|Select]] |date= July 1997 |page= 87}}</ref>

Subcircus was quiet for over two years but reappeared in 1999 with the single "Do You Feel Loved". This was followed by support slots for label mates [[Feeder (band)|Feeder]] in October. In 2000, on Valentine's Day, the band issued a new single, "Sixty Second Love Affair". In March, their second full-length album, ''Are You Receiving?'' was released to lukewarm reviews.
