In 2005, teenage trio The Subways made a phenomenal breakthrough with their Gold-certified debut album ‘Young For Eternity’. It set them on the road to an endless succession of highlights, including their iconic ‘Rock & Roll Queen’ becoming a mainstay of rock radio and streaming playlists (with 100 million+ streams to date) extensive global headline tours, particularly in the UK and Germany, with a running total of 1059 gigs across 40+ countries - and much more to come. They have also played shows as guests to everyone from Oasis to Foo Fighters via AC/DC, and hit seemingly ever major festival around, from Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage and main stage sets at Reading and Leeds in the UK to major international events such as Rock Am Ring / Rock Im Park, Lollapalooza and Sziget. Twenty years on, and now five albums deep into their career, The Subways celebrate their 20th anniversary with the ‘When I’m With You’, a selection of singles and fan favourites from their journey so far, while also looking to the future with two brand new songs. They also announce details of a major UK and European headline tour, ‘The Subways For Eternity’, to commemorate the anniversary. Back in 2005, with an average age of just 18, Billy, Charlotte and Josh crashed onto the international music scene with their debut album ‘YOUNG FOR ETERNITY’, and their indie/rock-club floor-filling single ‘ROCK & ROLL QUEEN’. After early championing by John Peel and an unsigned Glastonbury battle of the bands win the NME proclaimed them “The sexiest thing to sweep rock n roll off its feet in years!”. An appearance on American smash teen drama ‘THE OC’ and in Guy Ritchie’s London Gangster flick ‘ROCKNROLLA’, as well as placements in Colin McCrae: DiRT 2, Saint's Row 2, Fifa Street 2 & Forza Horizon and much more has helped make the ‘ROCK & ROLL QUEEN’ a Spotify Rock Playlist mainstay. The band have released five albums to date. Their sophomore, ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ (2008), was recorded in LA with heavyweight producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Garbage) and, is “Buoyed with emotional heft and supernova guitar riffs, wired around a maturing song craft” (MOJO). The tracks were written at a time when Billy was battling to save his voice following surgery to remove nodules from his vocal cords. ‘MONEY AND CELEBRITY’ followed in 2011, produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths/Blur), & was filled with “brilliantly anarchic punk-pop vignettes; each being a big musical finger that sticks it to financial greed, the mediocre mainstream and the fame fetishists” (ROCKSOUND) and included the Radio 1 A-listed single ‘WE DON’T NEED MONEY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME’. Their self-titled 4th album saw the emergence of singer and songwriter Billy Lunn as a producer, as he took control of engineering and mixing duties, and was "On Par with the best things they have ever written" (Q Magazine). Though the 2020 global pandemic forced the postponement of their 40+ date international ‘Young For Eternity Anniversary Tour’ it also kept Billy busy in his newly-established Hertfordshire studio, with Charlotte and Josh in their respective homes, focused on remotely recording Album 5. Makeshift under-stair vocal booths were quickly constructed! Sadly, in October 2020, after completing drum contributions for the upcoming 5th album, drummer and founding band member Josh Morgan left the band. (Full story here). The Subways quickly added drummer Camille Phillips (previously of The Ramonas to the band’s lineup. In January 2022, she was announced as The Subways’ new permanent drummer. 5th album “UNCERTAIN JOYS” was produced by Billy at his studio & mixed by the Grammy Award winning Adrian Bushby. In April 2021 the band signed to Alcopop! and released their politically-charged, Black-Lives-Matter-inspired single “FIGHT”. 2022 Singles “YOU KILL MY COOL”, “LOVE WAITING ON YOU” and “BLACK WAX” followed before the album & title track single release of “UNCERTAIN JOYS” in January 2023. The album garnered press support from The Independent, NME, Classic Rock Magazine, FLOOD Magazine, CLASH, Guitar Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan and more, with international radio support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6music, John Kennedy at Radio X, Jasper Leijdens at KINK, and KEXP, amongst others. The band are constantly on the road and it is indeed live where the band hit another level. In 20 years of international touring they have notably supported AC/DC, Foo Fighters & Oasis, appeared on Live at Abbey Road, TOTPs, CDUSA, the Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. As Firm summer festival favourites, they have graced the stages on multiple occasions at over 100 international festivals (including Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage & main stage performances at Reading & Leeds, Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Hurricane, Southside, Lollapalooza, Sziget & Rock En Seine) but whether in front of 100 people or 350,000, the band always deliver a high octane, thoroughly entertaining set. “We will rock till we drop, as there is nothing more exciting for us than being on tour. The greatest drug in the world is seeing people screaming the words and dancing to the songs you’ve written. To get up onstage and to play rock and roll every day, to visit new towns, new cities, new countries, new continents and to make new friends along the way, it’s the most amazing experience we’ve ever felt!” The Subways are Billy Lunn, Charlotte Cooper, and Camille Phillips (previously Josh Morgan) www.thesubways.net www.facebook.com/thesubways www.x.com/thesubways www.instagram.com/thesubways
