The Subways

• The Subways

  The Subways seemed as if they had the world at their feet once; theirs was a sound that was just about heavy enough to appeal to traditional rock fans, but melodic and accessible enough to cross over into indie circles, too. After debut record Young for Eternity earned them a sizeable cult fanbase - they’d already, by this point, carved out a loyal live following - they went all out for album number two, decamping to Los Angeles and bringing in Butch Vig - he of Nevermind and Siamese Dream fame - to sit behind the production desk. Since that album met with mixed reviews, the Hertfordshire trio seem to have been slowly dwindling in popularity; for those still on board, though, they continued to deliver thrillingly energetic live shows when out on the road promoting their Stephen Street-produced third LP, Money and Celebrity. Frontman Billy Lunn continues to do the work of two guitarists on his own, whilst his chemistry with bassist and backing vocalist Charlotte Cooper - also his on-again, off-again girlfriend - brings an edge to The Subways’ performances lacking in many of their contemporaries. With a new single, ‘My Heart Is Pumping to a Brand New Beat’, recently released, and a new record in the works for later this year, the band could be poised for a serious comeback - you can find out for yourself in October, when they embark on a mammoth 22-date tour of the UK.

• Hertfordshire rockers The Subways seemed to have fallen on a secret formula when they emerged in 2005 with their debut 'Young For Eternity'. They created a rock that was grungey enough for hard-rock fans whilst pacy enough for indie fans, unfortunately their uniqueness became oversaturated and they faded into obscurity with the indie pop boom of the mid 00's.

  They continued to record albums though and with a discography that now stands at 4 releases, the group consistently tour material old and new to the loyal fanbase who have remained faithful to the trio. There is no denying they continue to invest their all into the show and attack material from the new eponymous release with an equal amount of aggression. The audience is receptive but reserve their cheers for favourites such as 'Rock & Roll Queen' and 'Oh Yeah'. You cannot help but feel sorry for the group as Billy Lunn launches himself around the stage to 'Celebrity' whilst the audience remains motionless. It proves their first cult-like success ended up being a double edged sword.

• I've loved the subways since the beginning and being local I found this the perfect opportunity to take my 16 year old to his first gig...There performance was outstanding and they had a real connection with the crowd keeping us involved and engaged....me and my boy spent the evening bouncing and singing along to an unforgettable evening and hopefully the first of many gigs for my son...

• There wasn't that many attendees at the venue (the concert took place on a Monday after all) and at first none seemed very excited about the concert.

  But as soon as Billy Lunn appeared on stage, he got the crowd in his pocket with his vibrant personality and contagious energy.

  Overall, very fun and powerful. A true life band. Totally recommended.
