Black Submarine, previously known as The Black Ships until mid-2012, are an English rock band formed in November 2008 by former Verve members Nick McCabe and Simon Jones, Coldplay/Goldfrapp collaborator Davide Rossi, singer Amelia Tucker and drummer Mig Schillace.

Electric violinist Davide Rossi, who also featured on The Verve's 2008 reunion album Forth, shared the stage with the band at festivals including V Festival and Glastonbury Festival. Drummer Mig Schillace, was a collaborator of McCabe in previous musical incarnations such as 'Field Theory'. The band started rehearsing in Copenhagen before deciding on the band name in March/April 2009 and released their debut EP Kurofune in late May 2011.

The band also made their live debut in June 2011 at King's College Students Union in London, featuring a host of different vocalists including Amelia Tucker, David McKellar and Charley Bickers. The band contributed a version of Rope Soul'd to the John Martyn tribute album "Johnny Boy Would Love This: A Tribute To John Martyn" released in August 2011.

The band started recording new materials in Denmark and the United Kingdom in 2012. Vocalist Amelia Tucker joined the band to contribute a version of "Renee" to the Talk Talk tribute album Spirit of Talk Talk, released in September 2012. Tucker joined the band on a permanent basis and contributed vocals and lyrics to new songs the band recorded through 2013. As a five piece, the band contributed the tracks "See Through You," "Sunset Red Light," "Living in this City," and "Give Us Back" to the soundtrack for the 2013 Indonesian action film Java Heat, starring Mickey Rourke and Kellan Lutz.
