THE SUBWAYS are still one of the most exciting live bands, thrilling the masses with their explosive rock sound and wild stage shows.
In 2005, Billy, Charlotte and Josh, with an average age of only 18, stormed the international music scene with their debut album "YOUNG FOR ETERNITY" and their single "ROCK & ROLL QUEEN", which rocked the rock clubs. The NME called her "the sexiest thing to sweep rock'n'roll off its feet in years." An appearance in the American teen drama THE OC and Guy Ritchie's London gangster film "RocknRolla" has helped the song become a staple on the Spotify rock playlist. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4BntNFyiN3VGG4hhRRZt9d
The band has released four albums to date. Their second album, "ALL OR NOTHING" (2008), was recorded in LA with heavyweight producer Butch Vig and is "full of emotion and supernova guitar riffs wired around mature song craft" (MOJO). The tracks were written at a time when Billy was struggling to keep his voice after surgery to remove vocal cord nodules. 'MONEY AND CELEBRITY' followed in 2011, filled with "brilliantly anarchic punk-pop vignettes; each is a big musical finger giving the finger to financial greed, mediocre mainstream and fame fetishists" (ROCKSOUND) and included the Radio 1 A-listed single "WE DON'T NEED MONEY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME." Their self-titled fourth album saw the emergence of singer-songwriter Billy Lunn as producer, taking control of engineering and mixing, and is "on par with the best stuff they've ever written.... and finds the band energetic, focused and ready for battle" (Q Magazine).
The worldwide pandemic that has disrupted the 40+ date international "Young For Eternity Anniversary Tour" has kept Billy busy in his newly refurbished studio in Hertfordshire, while Charlotte and Josh are focused in their respective homes on the remote recording of album 5. Temporary vocal booths have been built under the stairs, and the album is now ready for an early 2023 release.
In April 2021, the band signed to "Alcopop" and released the politically charged, Black Lives Matter-inspired single "Fight," which they describe as "a letter in two parts: a gesture of solidarity with the Black community and communities of color who face their oppression from systemic racism on a daily basis, and a wake-up call to the white community that this oppression does exist and that we must acknowledge this oppression and fight alongside marginalized communities as allies."
