The Subways

Hailed by NME as "the sexiest thing to sweep rock 'n' roll off its feet in years," the Subways have quickly established themselves as one of Britain's most undeniably exhilarating new bands. Young For Eternity, the London-based trio's Sire Records debut, is alive with teenage kicks and manic pop thrills, veering from rambunctious punk thrash and tender acoustic pop to grungy blues-infected dynamos like the addictive first single, "Rock & Roll Queen." Though the Subways' full-bore sonic momentum is fired by raw power riffing and Billy Lunn's primal rock yowp, tracks such as "Oh Yeah" and "No Goodbyes" also display a melodic maturity far beyond the band's tender years. Throughout Young For Eternity, Lunn's songs relay a remarkable span of powerful emotions, of love and lust and fear and frustration - in short, the entire delirious, hormone-addled, adolescent experience writ into rock.
