The Subways
Young For Eternity (2005)

The Subways album Young for Eternity is their debut album. Based in London the trio performs a variety of indie rock music blending a mix of hard rock with soft melodic harmonies. The band has an uncommon line-up, consisting of boyfriend and girlfriend Billy Lunn and Charlotte Cooper, and also Lunn’s half-brothers Josh Morgan.
The first track on the album "I Want to Hear What You Have Got to say" kick starts the album with its fast pace. Lunn and Copper share the vocals, though Lunn being the more dominate of the two. There’s a real roughness to the number which more than paves the ways in terms of what’s in store. “Rock n roll Queen” is perhaps the track that stands out, with its catchy chorus the track shows the brilliant unison the brand has together and the relationship between Lunn and Copper only heightens the lyric power of the track. The track “Mary” is an interesting one with the person the song is about, being given the name Mary so that it almost as if talking about her in past tense.

All in all Young for Eternity is an album made up of 3 or 4 quality singles, I say this not to discourage you but only to bring forward the simplistic lyrical genius of the band. The rustic vocals are a breath of fresh air in an industry of over produced bands.
