_“Featuring an earworm of a riff, the track sees the band draw from more rudimentary
rock influences and is completed by some squeaky-clean production, taking the group
in the stadium rock direction that they’ve always teased, even on 2005’s Young for
Eternity.”- _**_Far Out Magazine_**

_“bubbly, youthful guitar-pop”- _**_Stereoboard_**

UK alternative rock band **The Subways** have unveiled a new single “Love Waiting
On You,” off the trio’s long awaited album, due out this fall.

**‘Uncertain Joys’** (set for release on January 13, 2023 via Bodan Kuma/ Alcopop!
Records) is the band’s first album in 7 years, and was produced by frontman Billy
Lunn, mixed by Grammy Award-winning Adrian Bushby, and mastered by Katie Tavini.

The song follows the recent release of the album’s first single “You Kill My Cool.”

Lunn says, _“Love Waiting On You is about the tension between desperately wanting
to be with the one you desire and yet also relishing the suspense in being kept 
from them. From the confines of my bed on tour (or in my rooms at uni), I would 
yearn for the love of my life, waiting for her messages to ping on my phone, hoping
to hear her voice at the end of the line, desperate to feel her touch. Caught in
those moments, there was a joyful pain that made seeing her again unimaginably beautiful.
Still, there was something wild and ecstatic about missing her so much.”_

THE SUBWAYS remain one of the most exciting live bands on the current touring circuit,
thrilling crowds with their explosive rock sound and wild stage performances.

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 rock-club floor-filling single ‘ROCK & ROLL QUEEN’. 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’_ has helped make the track a Spotify Rock Playlist mainstay: [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4BntNFyiN3VGG4hhRRZt9d](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=8662594.21154.1.8522cc8f877cbc7b8f5a4eb7e5503619)

The band have released four albums to date. Their sophomore, ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ (2008),
was recorded in LA with heavyweight producer **Butch Vig** 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, 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 is _“On Par with the best things they have ever written… and
finds the band energized, focused and battle-ready” Q Magazine._

The global pandemic, though cutting short their 40+ date international ‘Young For
Eternity Anniversary Tour’, has 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 constructed, and the album is now
ready for a 2023 release alongside plenty of touring ([https://www.thesubways.net/gigs](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=8662594.21155.1.ae5db4bf292b7c140db1fd1f3f32d76f)).

In April 2021 the band signed to ‘Alcopop’ and released the politically-charged,
Black-Lives-Matter-inspired single “Fight”, which they describe as “a letter in 
two parts: a gesture of solidarity with the Black community and communities of colour
as they face their daily oppression at the hands of systemic racism, and a wake-
up-call to the white community that such oppressions do in fact exist, and that 
we must acknowledge these oppressions and fight alongside marginalised communities
as allies.”

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

The Subways quickly added drummer Camille Phillips (previously of **The Ramonas**[

to the band lineup for the rescheduled 2021 ‘Young For Eternity’ Anniversary tour
dates, on which she was very warmly welcomed and received by the band’s devoted 
fanbase. In January 2022, she was happily announced as The Subways’ new permanent
drummer.

It is indeed live where the band hit another level. Firm summer festival favourites,
they have graced the stages of over 100 international festivals (including, notably,**
Glastonbury’s** Pyramid Stage, the main stages at **Reading & Leeds, Rock Im Park,
Rock Am Ring, Hurricane, Southside**, and **Rock En Seine**) but whether in front
of 100 people or 250,000, 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**.
