Advantages: A fresh new talent on the scene that builds upon the style built by many great bands Disadvantages: The singing style may be (or become) irritating for some.
My quest in the listening and discovering new bands to preach about leads me to The Subways! This three-piece outfit is one of the latest in the world of modern rock music, and this, their debut, is a cracker.
The Subways were formed in 2000 (I believe). Their line up is:
Billy Lunn - Vocals/Guitar
Charlotte Cooper - Bass/Supporting and Backing vocals
Josh Morgan - Drummer
THE TRACKS
1 - I Want To Hear What You've Got To Say - A superb opener ... ...as powerful as ever and the lyrics he supplies to our ears are brilliant. This is probably one of the heaviest songs on the album. Josh's energetic drumming is ever present while Charlotte offers her unique voice as backing vocals. As I said at the start, this track is fairly standard yet slightly different. - 6/10
3 - Rock & Roll Queen - One of my favourite songs on the album, this is a slight variation of the sound that The Subways give us. Great ...

Advantages: Fun and energetic. Disadvantages: Very few.
The Subways are Billy Lunn, Charlotte Cooper and Josh Morgan. Whereas they may not the same amount of recognition and airplay as overnight success story Arctic Monkey's, The Subways produced the best debut album of 2005. This was recognised by Virgin Music in January 2006 when 'Young for Eternity' was voted 'Best Album of 2005', beating off strong competition from big names such as Madonna, Will Young and Mcfly.
The album contains a mixture of energetic, ... ...and 'At 1AM'). However the album also contains tracks that show a softer side to the band, for example 'Mary', in which lead singer Billy pours out his heart to his fiancé/bassist Charlotte.
