The Submarines是情侣/夫妻组合，Blake Hazard与John Dragonetti现住在洛杉矶，甜蜜又艰辛的恋爱过程后，即将结婚了，首张专辑「Declare A New State」，宣布建立新国度，许多朋友参与器乐演出与唱片制作，是最好的结婚礼物。 John Dragonetti (aka Jack Drag) and Blake Hazard first met in Boston, where both musicians were working as solo artists. Introduced by mutual friends, the pair soon became musically and romantically involved. Dragonetti produced Hazard's debut solo album, 2002's Little Airplane, and they began playing and performing with each other's bands. The couple moved west to Los Angeles to continue their career in warmer environs, but their relationship ended during the fall of 2004. The event fueled their respective songwriting, however, and as Hazard still recorded her material at Dragonetti's studio, the two began sharing the songs they'd penned about their breakup. Apparently, this also worked to reconcile their love, and the two got back together, recorded the aforementioned breakup songs, and ultimately married. Declare a New State!, which was mastered by a friend as a wedding present, was then released on the Nettwerk label in 2006. Honeysuckle Weeks followed in May 2008, featuring decidedly happier songs and an increased emphasis on Hazard's lead vocals.
