**More info:** 
Formed in 2002, by now The Subways should need no introduction. 
Nearly 20 years into their career the band have had multiple chart-worthy album 
releases including Young For Eternity (2005), All Or Nothing (2008), Money And Celebrity(
2011), and The Subways (2015), spawning a slew of hit singles including ‘Rock & 
Roll Queen’, ‘Oh Yeah’, ‘Girls & Boys’ and ‘We Don’t Need Money To Have A Good Time’.

They have toured with AC/DC, Foo Fighters, and Oasis, appeared on the Late Show 
with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and graced the festival 
main-stages of Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Lollapalooza, Download, Soundwave, 
Hurricane & Southside, Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring and many more.

The band have worked with Nirvana and Garbage super-producer Butch Vig, as well 
as Blur and The Smith’s mastermind Stephen Street, and the band have appeared in
several major films and videogames including Guy Ritchie’s Rock’N’Rolla, American
smash-hit TV drama The OC, and Colin McCrae: DiRT 2, Saint’s Row 2, Fifa Street 
2, Forza Horizon.

The first track to be taken from their recently-completed forthcoming new album,‘
Fight’ was The Subways’ first release without long-time drummer and founding member
Josh Morgan, who announced his departure from the band in October 2020, shortly 
after studio sessions were completed.

Produced by Lunn and mixed by Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, New Order), ‘Fight’
is a precursor to the sonic texture of the new album, without giving too much away
too early. In the advent of COVID, Lunn is producing and mixing bands in his Welwyn
Garden City-based recording studio (with social-distancing measures in place) until
touring resumes.

‘Fight’ picked up a triumphant wave of support, with NME, CLASH Magazine, Steve 
Lamacq at BBC 6music, Gay Times, Broadway World, and more all championing the band’s
long-awaited return, and demonstrating a renewed appetite for the band’s forthcoming
fifth studio effort.

The Subways’ hit single ‘Rock & Roll Queen’ also recently appeared in Ladbrokes’
European Championship TV advert, partnering with #WeMakeEvents to light up music
venues in red and lend support to the live entertainment industry. The advert features
hundreds of skilled and experienced drummers performing as a player prepares to 
take a penalty.

The Subways revealed the video for forthcoming 2023 album Uncertain Joys’ lead single‘
You Kill My Cool’ earlier this spring, following a premiere with FLOOD Magazine.
Alongside the track, the band also released single B-side ‘Oi You Boy Bands’ which
is out now on all good digital service providers—a rallying feminist cry against
all things pale, male and stale that features lead vocals from bassist Charlotte
Cooper and new drummer/permanent member Camille Phillips (The Ramonas).

‘You Kill My Cool’ and ‘Love Waiting On You’ are the latest shots of new material
from the band following their previous Black Lives Matter-inspired standalone single‘
Fight’ in 2021, collaborating with rising stars Nova Twins and Tokky Horror for 
exclusive remixes and B-sides.

The band closed out last year on their Young For Eternity Tour dates with ART BRUT,
as well as playing a handful of intimate headline gigs, and most recently stormed
through the EU in May 2022 for a string of Germany and Netherlands headline dates.
